Is it a good setup and price? This is retail BTW, not OEM. Do I need to buy pc 2100 to optimize this setup?

Thanks

PC2100 WILL NOT work in this setup, you need PC133. If you want PC2100 you'll have to go for the A7M266

 

[deannicholas]

so then the 266 in the description of the Moboard tells you it is set up for a 266 FSB CPU?

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Well, the numbering scheme is manufacturer dependant. And often non-existant.

Check www.asus.com for specs

I just meant that in the description of the Mboard it says 266 FRB, I am just not sure what it is referring to, I thought that had a corollation with the memory and cpu fsb capability

The PC2100 memory is for DDR boards...like the A7M266. The A7V133 is a KT133A board. Both use the 266 FSB. Pc133 memory goes with the A7V133.
