Dumb memory question

[AbsolutZero]

I've always wondered but was afraid to ask...can you safely mix cheap PC100 RAM with good PC133 RAM while OC'ing to high fsb (can't damage memory)? Does it matter what order to install the memory with different quality or speed ratings?

You can mix it, but your success would be limited by the lowest quality RAM. I doubt it would damage your memory. You just won't get to that high of a FSB, that's all.

It won't damage the RAM, but yes, the lower speed rated RAM will put a limit on how much you can o/c.

generally it doesn't matter how you put the RAM. i815 is an exception. Definitely start from the first slot.
