Can Athlon XP 2000 run with 100mhz sdram ??

does anyone know if athlon XP 2000 run with my old 100mhz SD-ram???? i have tons of em and i dont want to waste em ..

Well that really depends on your mobo.. most mobos made for an Athlon 2000XP I would think would have 184 pin DDR RAM slots. So unless the mobo manufacturer even bothered to put 168 pin SDRAM slots on the board, then the answer is no. If there are SDRAM slots, then sure, you can use it. But why in the hell would you want to??? I don't care how much of it you got sitting around.. that would seriously bottleneck your system. May as well run a Athlon 600 or something. Heck, even those can use 133Mhz SDRAM. My suggestion, pitch the 100Mhz. Or use it for some post-neo-modern-techno-punk art sculpture (a.k.a. "paperweight" ) or something.

only mobo that can use SDRAM with Athlon XP..as I know, it's ECS K7S5A, and it's a better idea to use PC133 and not PC100..

Nights L is right, the K7S5A is the only one worth bothering with. It will bottle neck your machine but its definetely going to put your memory to work at its max.
There are lots of people with SDRAM laying around, many times at 512mb+ like yourself and I plan on putting my old PC133 to work the same way.
Its going to be a fast computer, at least as fast as a P4 with SDRAM as many had/have, but with an athlon you can use the latest CPUs all the way back to the socket a 700mhz model.

I've owned a ECS K7S5A in the past, very reliable board even in SDR, I used both SDR/DDR on it. The board is cheap also, probably $50 now.
