Memory compatability?

[timothy_j_w]

Hi.

I am upgrading my ageing 1.4 Ghz T-bird to an AMD XP athlon 2800+ which has a FSB of 333 MHz. I am assuming my old RAM (PC2100) won't work with the mobo I am buying (MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR) - is this correct - will I need to buy some PC2700?

Thanks, Tim.

The old RAM will work fine, but will probably require you to run your RAM slower than your FSB, reducing performance.
