I have an A7V333 motherboard (which support DDR333). I found that there are some problem if I used PC-2100 DDR RAM, but it is ok if I used PC-2700 DDR RAM. Do I need to configure the motherboard manually to support PC-2100 DDR RAM?

Thank you

Leo

all you should have to to is to make sure that the ram is running at 133 in the bios, not 133+33 (166).

cauz unless you have super overclockable PC2100 ram its unlikely to work at PC2700 speeds.

if your ram still doesnt work at 133, i would reccomend you check it for errors and integrity using MEMTEST86.

You're an embarrisment to nature you know that?

Make sure the setting <b><font color=red>'CPU/Memory Frequency Ratio'</b></font color=red> is <b>1:1</b> <font color=blue><i>not</font color=blue></i> 4:5.

:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.
