Could someone kindly explain this to me:
(The following is taken from the Shuttle Inc. Spacewalker HOT-591P Version 2.x Setup Manual)
"HOT-591P supports 100MHz external frequency AMD-K6 3D, and which allows the user to use 66MHz normal SDRAM DIMM or 100MHz PC/100 SDRAM DIMM. Jumpers JA25 and JP9 are used to set SDRAM frequency which synchronous with System Clock (CPU External Clock) or synchronous with AGP External Clock."
My system, (with AMDK6-2 300MHz oc'd to 350Mhz) built by a local vendor, uses PC/100 SDRAM, which according to the above can be sychronized with the System Clock which is @100MHz, but is sync'd with the AGP Clock @66MHz. Is there a difference in performance/does it really matter? Should I sync the SDRAM with the System Clock @100MHz instead? Are there any benefits/drawbacks?
In changing the sychronization, if it's the wrong thing to do, am I going to fry my RAM? If so, will this happen immediately?
Thanks much, in advance,
