Help with SDRAM

[Sorgon2]

I have an ABIT KT7A-Raid board on the way and it is going to replace my older Dell motherboard that I have now. The Dell board is an older Intel SE440-BX2 board. I also have a T-bird waiting for this new board, so I am ditching the board and slot 1 processor from the Dell and using the rest of the components. I have 3 sticks of 256mb PC100 Dell ram that I might want to use to get me going with my new board and T-bird. Will I be able to use this Dell ram with the new ABIT KT7A-Raid and T-bird or will there be a compatibility problem here? The specs for the KT7A-Raid board say PC100/PC133, but I am not sure about this Dell ram and its ability to work on any other board besides a Dell board. This would be a temporary solution for awhile as I plan on getting PC133 ram real soon. If it doesn't work, then I may go get a stick of PC133 if necessary. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You!

it should work, but you wont know for sure until you try it.

Has anyone ever tried specific Dell ram on a non-Dell motherboard before? Thanks!

With the Dell ram there is a clock signiture on the ram which locks to dell only Motherboards
