Anyway to run 133Mhz SDRAM on 100mhz CPU??

[gredodenda]

Ok, I have Crucial 256 133mhz SDRAM and I have 900mhz celeron which runs at 100 mhz. If I install this to a mobo, then the SDRAm will go backward to 100mhz instead of 133 mhz, right??? then it will slower the performance.

Is there a way or specific mobo that can make sdram work at 133mhz???

Can intel or Via chipset make this work??

thanks

Any Intel I815EP or VIA Apollo133A board has the option to run the memory at 100 +33
Asus TUSL-C
ABIT ST6
MSI 6309E
Soyo 7VCA2
etc

PC 133 is backwards compatible to 100mhz. It gets tricky though if you try running PC100 at 133mhz. Most components have no trouble running at a lower spec, and people often get their components to run above spec, ie. Overclocking. I don't think it will make the RAM any "slower" if you decide to put it in a 133mhz bus system later on, but there are real engineers who frequent these boards that can talk to you about capacitors and burn-in etc of all the little transistors. All that stuff is over my head though
