future Northwood 133 FSD and PC800

[VSD]

Will I be able to use my Rambus PC800 modules on a future upgrade to a Northwood processor running at 133FSB?...
and my mobo P4T-E?.

regards...thanks in advance

The answer is yes but why would you wnat to limit its bandwith?

That is why the next step is PC1066... a quad 133MHz bus. So its 133.33 x 4 x 2 = 1066.

Intel is making the processors bandwith dependent in their architecture so if you went to the Northwood core you would be castrating it with PC800. It won't be as bad as using DDR with that core but bad enough.

According to Raystonn, every Samsung PC800 module he's tested has run at PC1066 speeds with no problem.
