I have a ram set all of which are PC2100 (its an old computer). Recently I was planning to upgrade my processor to a P4 3ghz FSB 800. But someone told me that using this with that kind of ram would severly underclock its speed and may not even work depending on my motherboard.
Well this is my motherboard http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=p4v88
Will using an FSB 800 with pc2100 ram just result in its underclocking or will it not work at all? If its just underclocking will it perform as well an equivalent p4 but at FSB 533? or worse?
