Newbie - Can PC133 SDRAM run on 100MHz motherboard?

[cwchan]

Hi, newbie here. Can PC133 SDRAM run on 100MHz motherboard? For example, my motherboard is MSI-5184 with VIA MVP3 chipset (supports up to K6-2), current RAM is 64MB EDO and my CPU is Pentium MMX 200MHz. There are two empty 168-pin DIMM slots available.

Thanks and hope to hear from you.

Yes you can use PC133SDRAM on a 100 mhz board. But you're gonna have to toss the EDO ram. EDO ram is much slower than PC100-PC133 SDRAM. Your EDO ram won't work with the faster ram.
