Does the Pentium III 533 cpu work with pc100 ram on an ABIT BE6 i440BX Slot-1 ATX motherboard?

[Tr0LL]

any1 know? my friend has the ABIT BE6 i440BX Slot-1 ATX motherboard and pc100 ram... he can get a good deal on the p3 533 cpu so he's wondering if that setup would work? hehe... too bad he can't get my duron... i love how much i can overclock this thing...

P3 533 - that must be using 133 FSB. That means it will be "under clocked" to 400 if you pair it with 100FSB. You should get a P3 500 or 550 (be sure they use 100FSB). Then you can allways experiment with raising the FSB above 100
Otherwise there should be no problem using newer P3's on that board.

Edit: Oh, and remember to get a FCPGA->Slot 1 converter card if it's a FC P3..

go for a 550 or 600, running on 133 mhz might be too much for your video card and memory. use a via chipset motherboard, bad memory performance, but you can run the processor at 133 mhz and the memory at 100
