NF7-S Question

[coremortality]

Hey everyone,

Right now I own an Athlon 900 T-Bird running on an Abit KT7 w/ 512 MB SDRAM (2x 128 dimms & 1x 256 Dimm). I'm looking at buying an NF7-S off of Newegg for $66 and swapping over my CPU & RAM for a cheap hardware upgrade. The plan is to then upgrade the processor and RAM next month to give me something to work with while I build my Dualy Opteron system. Will the NF7-S run my Athlon 900 Mhz & 512 SDRAM (133 Mhz I believe)? Thanks for any input.

Yes, everything will work just fine.

Edit: Woops, the RAM may be a problem. You will need to upgrade that I believe.

you will need ddr ram the sdram will not work

You'll need DDR RAM.

Definitely DDR RAM.....or you can hold onto it and just start building your opetron...good luck

Isn't DDR Ram SDRAM? though i know SDRAM is not DDR....i can't recall if the KT7 supported DDR cause if it did then i know i would have bought some....just kind of rambling now, and thanks for the info!

DDR is SDRAM, but they are incompatible. Try sticking SDRAM into a DDR slot, it won't work.

The KT-7 uses 168 pin PC133 memory. The NF7 uses 184 pin PC2100+ memory.
