I'm trying to setup my 1.2 GHz Athlon. My PC133 memory comes on Monday, but I want to set it up in the meantime with my older PC100 memory for now.
My question is, should I set my FSB speed to 100 in order for it to run with my PC100 memory for now? Or is it possible to set the FSB to 133 and somehow have the memory clock set to 100? In other words, is the memory clock dependent on the FSB clock, or independent of it?
Also, if I have to stick to 100 for the FSB, is it okay to push the multiplier up to 12 to get to 1.2 GHz for now?
I'm using an Abit KT7A mobo, so I need to use the SoftMenu III in the BIOS to set the CPU and memory parameters. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
