Haven't kept up with the hardware industry lately (since the 1.2Ghz Athlon-Cs were all the rage), so i've kind of fallen behind on the whole DDR RAM thing. I understand how it works (rising and falling edge of the chip), but a few things confuse me.
a) Does AGP 8X and PCI run at a fixed rate? (i.e. 66mhz). If so, do they have adjustable multipliers so that you can run a high FSB and still keep PCI/AGP within spec?
b) DDR RAM of different speeds should not be used in the same machine, correct? I just can't see how a PC2100 and PC3200 would run together...
c) if you ran a 2.0Ghz chip at 200FSB (DDR 400) X 10 clock multiplier would that be any less stable (assuming you were using PC3200+ RAM) than a 133 MHz X 15 clock multiplier to get the same end result?
