I'm planning on building a new computer from scratch (for the first time). I was going to go with an athlon this time, the 1.33 with the 266 fsb. Planning on using 384 megs of crucial cas2 pc133 memory.
Today when I was discussing this with someone, he told me that I could not run the fsb at 266, since I was only using pc133 memory. According to him, the memory has to be clocked at 266 to use the 266 fsb?? I know that NO memory is clocked at that, but he raised questions in my mind.
Never building a computer before, I don't know if this is true or not. Will I be able to use the fsb at 266? If not, then what do I have to do to make use of the 266 fsb? Any help or advice on how this all works will be much appreciated. Trying to get all of this put together in the next two weeks (hopefully).
