How fast can a Micron PC-100 stick of RAM go?

[DO97]

I got a 256 meg stick of Micron PC-100 RAM. What's the highest I can push this? I'm hoping for at least 107.

I believe it's rated at 8 ns. I just looked on the chips and it said -8A
Thanks.

probably 125mhz before it craps out

my stick of 128meg 8ns micron booted at 150mhz fsb once..
didn't do much testing tho, besides one successful timedemo of q3 demo001

-patchy

Sometimes it depends on the PCB too. If it's Crucial then it'll probably hit up to 133 Mhz at least. My Micron 7.5ns hit up to 150 Mhz CAS2.

107 ??
i've got my Micron 128MB module (OEM module, not crucial or other brands on the stick) at 139MHz at cas3.
or at least this should be the limit for mine.
but i'm happy enough with this one.

at cas2 the limit seems to be at 125MHz.

i had 2 64mb sticks of pc100 micron -8E chips that i bought in july of '99 that would do 148fsb at cas3 on an abit bf6 - i sh.t you not! it was great stuff.

My -8E stuff (not -8A) rates itself (SPD) to go 110 FSB cas 2 and switches to cas 3 at 112. Runs fine at cas 2 at higher speeds, but I don't know how much higher. It should do VERY well at Cas 3 however.

You probably wont get 150 out of it but I definately think 107mhz is no problem. 124mhz should be no problem

how about cheap generic PC100 RAM. how high can it usually go (rough estimate?)

My -8e is doing 124, I'm having problems hitting 133. Not sure if its my ram, temps(retail heatsink), or video (v770 Ultra).

Ooops, I just looked on my RAM again, and it says -8E. Not -8A. It's dark in there ! So, judging from all your responses I should be fine. Thanks.
