8rda+ concern

Hello,

I just picked up an EpoX 8rda+ Motherboard, and it seems to be working fine, but I do have one concern. When I set my fsb to 133 in the bios from the default of 100, it also changed the speed of the ram from pc200 to 266. I know my ram is pc200(2100) so does this mean that it's overclocked? Is this going to be a problem? Also, how do I just raise the cpu's fsb without altering the ram's?

I currently have the 03/2003 bios if you need to know that as well. I don't have any special fans/heatsinks on my ram, and my case has 4 case fans.

Thanks,
vpr

PC2100 is 133(266)MHz. PC1600 is 100(200)MHz.

If you do actually have PC1600, then if you select Custom/Expert/Advanced (not at home and can't remember which!) for the CPU/memory speeds, then you can set the Mem speed to a percentage of the FSB, so set it to 75% of the FSB for 100MHz
