Using PC133 DIMM on PC100 Motherboard?

[superslacker]

Can PC133 DIMMs be used on a PC100 Motherboard reliably? I'll be running the system at 100MHz and the PC133 RAM will be mixed with a strip of PC100 RAM. The MB in question is an Abit BE6-II. Any help or links to helpful information is much appreciated.

Thanks!

yes, it will work fine, but it will downclock to pc100 ram speed.

Yes, it will run at 100 Mhz like Scottrico said.

I have a 100Mhz FSB board (Tyan 1590s) and am running the original PC100 64mb chip along with a PC133 cas level 2 256mb chip and a PC133 cas 3 128MB chip. Everything works fine together. It's more important to keep the whole parity/non-parity (ECC) thing consistent. -Good luck.

not really...but if you have mixed ecc and non ecc don't turn on the ecc optoin in the bios cause it won't work
