Bios Setting with PC133 Dimm

[Guest]

I have an Asus K7M motherboard with an AMD 900MHZ Athlon Thunderbird. I recently purchased a 256 Meg Dimm (PC133). Do I have to change the bus speed to match the faster Dimm? If so, what should I set the bios bus speed to? Or should I set the bios bus speed to [By Jumper] and use the jumper settings instead?

No, you do not have to change the FSB to match the RAM. But doing so will yeild a better and faster performing computer since you will actually be overclocking the CPU.

Yes, you should set the FSB through the BIOS. I suggest using small increments of 2 or 3 when increasing the FSB to see what is the most stable setting. BTW--What is the brand of your RAM???

Yeah, you should be able to overclock well by raising the FSB with your ram.
