Hello!!!

I have a P3 that runs 100MHZ SDRAM, can I use 133MHZ ram on it?

cheers

You should be able to but its gotta be one or the other
You can't use both together

You can use both together, but the RAM will run at the slower speed of the two - 100Mhz

my old abit board (BH-6) didn't like mixing 100 and 133 dimms.

ended up pulling the 100 dimm and replacing with the 2x133's

The old BH6's were fairly finickety with RAM. Having had 5 pass through my hands, it was one of the things that most commonly arsed up! RAM incompatabilities are less common nowadays and weren't thaaaaat common back in the days of BX-class motherboards either, so you will 'most likely' have no problems with it .
some of the possible problems that you could encounter could be due to one of the following:

Running a DIMM module where the chip density is too high or the DIMM MB size is larger than the board can use per Bank.
Not being to able to run double and single-sided DIMMS together, but this is reletivly rare.

Hope this helps,


Cheers,

Nick
