Title says it all. I have two sticks of pc2100 that I'm hoping will work with the Abit canterwood or springdale boards, with a 2.4c 800Mhz overclocked to 3+ Ghz. I know I can tone down the memory settings, pc2700 would work, but 2100? Anybody know?
 
PC2100 is rated for 133mhz operation. At 3ghz, your FSB is 250. Even with a 3:2 (lowest possible ratio), the slowest the memory bus will be is 167. If your PC2100 can run stable at 167 then yes you can use it, otherwise no way.
