PC150 RAM and ASUS CUSL2?

[RDMustang1]

I just bought a ASUS CUSL2 + P3-933 and was going to try to OC it to run at 150mhz.. My question is, will my pc133 ram work or will I have to buy pc150 ram? If I need pc150 ram, does the CUSL2 support it (it's specifications actually say pc100 or pc133)...

What brand is your RAM? Crucial PC133 CL2 should work fine at 150MHz, and I wouldn't be suprised at CL2.

PC150 RAM isn't an official standard. It's based on the PC133 standard but has been tested to be able to run at a FSB of 150MHz.

I have micron branded pc133 (bought it from a friend who is a distributor, not actually from crucial)

Plain old Micron branded might mean the -75 instead of the -7E (CL2) micron stuff. I had some of that before. It was able to do around 150 (149.33333) but my system was unstable. I don't know if it was my processor or the ram though.

Look on the chips and at the end of the long product number, there should be a -75 or -7E. If it's -7E, then there's a pretty good chance it can hit above 140.

Congrats! Ive been using CUSL2C + 700@933 + 133 2x128 mushkin 1.5 for a long time. Nice board! You should have no problem at all. Ive recently added a generic 256 for a total of 512mb.

I used to have a p3600eb (133 bus) and ran the setup @155 mhz all the time. No prob.
