pc100 at higher speeds? (ram)

[m3rcury]

I have a 256mb stick of PC100 CAS2 ram. Will it run at PC133 CAS3? The chip markings are:

NEC Japan
D45128841G5
-A80-9JF
0016P5166

Thanks

Only one way to find out, and that is to run it at 133 and see if its stable.

never know...run with known stable components so ram is only variable on stability and go for it! i think unstable ram usually manifests itself in strange video errors, and annoying, but not fatal crashes of programs. it is very probable it'll go though...good luck!

I ran a stick of Kingston pc-100 at 133 for almost a year with no problems , I guess it depends on the ram itself

I've had a couple of experiences using NEC RAM, and generally they don't overclock well - at least for me. But like the others said, just test and see .
