RAM and MSI K7T Pro2A

[HomiePodgy]

Could anyone please tell me, witch RAM I can sucessfully use with the MSI K7T Pro2A-mobo?
Earlier I used the A7V mobo, but my RAM was to slow to run with my 1Ghz CPU?
So now I want to know, if the MSI-board needs PC133 >70 ns. RAM, or it can run with my old PC100 70 ns. RAM.

I have a MSI K7T Pro2A with a single stick of Kingston 256mb PC100. Runs fine!

Allright...
Can I use VCM-RAM with the MSI? I have seen some VERY fast RAM on the market (PC133 5,2 ns. ApAcher VCM-RAM).
Can theese guys be used on the MSI?

Yes, VCM works fine on the MSI board. I'm currently running 2 128MB sticks of it (Apacer). Unfortunately, my scores only went from 440 to 500 in Sandra...

gittyup, buy.com DOTD? Hehe, I have the same thing. What are your memory settings in the bios. Have you tried running it at 133? Been meaning to try but haven't got around to it yet. I'm just happy my newly built system is up and running for now.

Not sure I get the buy.com DOTD comment? Not sure what the setting are, probably not 133. I just got the system built yesterday.

I have the following components:

MSI K7T Pro2A
Duron 800
Antec ATX 300watt Mid Tower
256mb Kingston
HP 9110i CD-RW
Viper II 32mb
Linksys 10/100

oh hehe, sorry gittyup. I got this ram because of a thread in the hot deals forum. A 256 meg stick of the Kingston Value Ram pc100 cas2 was $120 at buy.com with free shipping and a $30 rebate. Figured you got in on the deal too. Guess not
