MB and RAM Question

[fritzfield]

I remember that the Super Socket 7 boards would run the K6 chip at
100mhz FSB but would allow the use of PC66 SDRAM, running it asynchronously.

My question is, do the 865 chipset boards running an 800mhz FSB allow the use
of PC2100 i.e. a lower rated speed RAM than PC3200?

yes and there are ratios you can use. 3:2 and 5:4 266Mhz (PC2100) and 333Mhz (PC2700)
