Mixing PC100 and PC133 on a BX board

[Cesaro]

I've got a Asus P2b and was just curious about mixing PC100 (128mb) and PC133 (256mb) on that board. I'm not worried about increased performance as far as the ram speed goes. I'm just curious if I'll have any conflicts of compatibility or of speed mismatches. Thanks.

You shouldn't have any problem at all, just make sure you have both of them running @ 100mhz (and the highest cas setting on both chips).

Another thing to do is make sure that the slower ram is in the first bank so that all of the ram is identified as PC100.

oooooh, I didn't know that. You've helped both of us.

I remember having to do that with my simms and sipps (hahahah...sipps)... I had sort of assumed it for the dimms but was not sure. Thanks.
I am kind of curious what was meant by "cas setting". I guess you just mean what I have the bus speed at? Cas should only be a property of the bus speed (for the clock cycle) and the column access time right?
