:confused:I read somewhere that the i810 chipset has a memory interface that runs at a speed of 100mhz regardless of the system bus speed. I have a i810L chipset and a fsb of 66mhz(Celeron). Does this mean the memory going from the SDRAM to and from the processor runs at 100mhz or 66mhz?????
Thanks.

It depends on the implementation by the motherboard manufacturer, and whether or not there is a facility to control this in the BIOS.

The i810 chipset does have the capability of running the processor's FSB at 66MHz and running the SDRAM at 100MHz.
