need help with memory.PC100 to PC133

[Willie2]

Using an Asus A7V with Athlon750 CPU.It arrived with PC100 SDRAM. The manual says it should run at133FSB.I want to increase the FSB to 133mh so I can use PC133 SDRAM. Being new to the Athlons,I need some help.
May the forces be with you.

in the bios, move to the second menu from the left and drop down to change the dram speed to 133 if you have pc133 ram. if you don't then leave it at 100.

Willie2:
the chipset on your motherboard allows for setting memory speed independent of the FSB. In other words you are running your Athlon at 7.5X100MHz FSB but you can run PC133 memory at 133MHz separate or independent from your FSB setting. If your memory is PC100 then set it that way in the bios like Tetsuo316 said. Your Athlon cpu probably would flake out at much beyond a 105MHz FSB regardless of which memory type used.

Thanks to tetsuo316 and Super6 for their help. I am now a bit wiser.
