Need Some Quick Help. Re: KT133 mobo and PC100 RAM

[VanMcGee]

Im considering upgrading from my current BX mobo/Celery 500 combination to a KT133/Duron configuration.

Can I keep my old PC100 RAM, or do I gotta buy a new PC133 chunk of RAM to accomodate the KT133 motherboard??

Im a cheap bastard. Please help.
Thank you.

There will be absolutely no reason to upgrade your memory, I also upgraded fron a BX/Celeron system to the rig below, and kept the old PC100 memory. In fact, it's very likely you'll be able to run your PC100 SDRAM at 133MHz as long as you keep BIOS-adjustable memory timings (such as CAS latency) on conservative settings.

The KT133 boards cant handle higher bus speeds anyways, so the PC100 RAM is perfect. The highest I can get the FSB on my Abit kt7 is about 107. I have read others get about the same results on the KT133 boards.
