    will a PC133 SDRAM work on 100mhz motherboard

    I have a Commate S7AX motherboard on my AMD K6-2D 266 using windows 98 with a 32mb SDRAM PC100 memory. Will a 128 mb SDRAM PC 133 memory work on this system.

    The answer can only be a possitive absolutely unequivical MAYBE!!!

    The real question is: Is the RAM you want compatible with your motherboard and chipset?

    The only way to know this, is to try it.
