Can anyone give input on the effects of pc133 in place of pc100 ram,with an overclocked P3 750e,socket 370(100 mhz core).Would there be a performance gain or incompatability?
Also,should i ignore 38 mhz pci and 76 mhz agp bus/what are the limitations of these bus speeds?I have no cooling probs and sys is stable,but are these speeds acceptable for longevity?DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO UNLOCK THE MULTIPLYER on this coppermine with an ABIT SE6? I would like to keep pci and agp bus down!!!

THANX

PC133 may allow you to reach a higher FSB speed. But, there is a lot of quality PC100 that will run just as well PC133. For example, I have some PC100 cas2 which will run faster than some of my PC133 cas3 ram. So you may or may not see a performance gain.

I would not be concerned about the longevity of overclocking your PCI cards or video card.

You cannot unlock the multiplier on P3 processors.
