Intel i815 Chipset & PC 66 RAM

[shiner]

I just bought an Abit SE6 and Celeron 600 from a guy I work with for $75, nice price huh, and was wondering if I could use my current 66mhz RAM from my LX chipset board in the SE6 until I can order some PC133. According to Abit's site this isn't possible because it's a limitation of the 815 chipset. Is this true? The PC 66 RAM I have is sme I purchased from Mushkin way back when so it's not crap memory. If it turns out that the board will run with the 66 memory in it are there any risks in doing so?

Thanks!!!

If your ram will run at 100mhz stabily then it will probably work, but it isnt possible to run your ram at 66mhz on an i815 chipset no matter what FSB your CPU runs at:
