Duron FSB questions

[slipperyslope]

I am looking at getting an overclockable duron 600mhz CPU. I currently have PC100 memory. Do I need to go with PC133 to make it higher or can I just up the multiplier as in 4x to try 800mhz?

I haven't been keeping up with the duron/athlon overclocking skills. I just would rather not have to buy new SDRAM.

Thanks for any info....

Mp will work just fine. Get Abit KT7 or Asus A7V mobo and good heatsink.

BTW on my A7V I run Duron on 900MHz @100fbs @1,79V but my ram runs at 133MHz. It gave me nice 10% speed boost in Unreal.

You should match your Athlon Tbird or Duron CPU to a Socket-A type motherboard based on the VIA Apollo KT133 chipset. That chipset supports either PC100 or PC133 SDRAM. Also, be sure to get an AMD-recommended power supply and HSF. See:
