I am going to buy a thunder 800 and a kt7a m/b. I am not very good at overclocking so i will only play with the FSB to increase the CPU speed. I have a 128/100 dimm. If i set the FSB to 110 will the 100 mhz dimm work? or a above 100 FSB the dimm will not be recognized by the m/b? Do i need to buy a pc133 dimm?

Hope i made my self clear enough, i am new at this m/b o/c cpu thing...

Well, it depends on YOUR specific DIMM. Some DIMMs overclock very well, but some won't move a few mhz in terms of speed.

Find out the CAS latency of the DIMM and then you will know how well it overclocks. If it's generic RAM you bought at the local computer store I doubt it'll go over or even at 110mhz. I'd just buy PC133 RAM if I was you- it's real cheap right now.
