Motherboard for PC2100 RAM?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt (More info?)

Everything in the world of computers changes so fast these days - I know
that PC3700 RAM is now available. Thing is, a friend of mine bought 1GB of
PC2100 RAM for his machine just 2 months ago but his motherboard has now
gone faulty (RAM still OK-tested it in my computer).

Are there still any decent motherboards available that use PC2100 and if so,
what do the group recommend?

Cheers,

John.

Memory is best used in conjunction with a CPU having
complimentary FSB. In other words, "most" modern CPUs how
have a higher FSB than would be optimally paired with PC2100
memory. However, most any motherboard that accepts DDR (1)
is backwards compatible. I suggest that you either buy a
motherboard to replace the one the friend had go bad, so
that system reuses same CPU, or for a completely new build
go with a Celeron-D as it still uses a lower FSB than a P4.
