SDRAM question

[GKar]

I have an old server running Linux and the board uses PC66 SDRAM (if there ever was such a `stabdard'. Will there be any problems putting a new sick of PC133 SDRAM into the mobo if it still runs at a 66MHz FSB?

Yes, it should be fine for you to put in a stick of PC133 SDRAM. The RAM will simply run at 66MHz.

Usually there are no problems.

If the memory is any good that is.

I've seen enough "el cheapo" DIMM's not quite suiting up to the spec & fail to run at lower FSB ratings than the one they were rated at.

Get good memory (it's a server, so I do assume you'll do it) and you should be fine .

AndyHui: Thanks, that's what I thought.
Shathal: Yeah, it's good quality stuff, Infineon. (it's not really worth saving 5 or 10 dollars for something that could come back and bite me in the arse in a months time...).
