I am waiting for some good DDR SDRAM motherboards to come out Q1-2 next year, but my current one is starting to die so I'm buying an inexpensive temporary solution before I really upgrade.
I have a Slot-1 Intel processor so I'll probably buy an <A HREF="http://www.asus.com/products/Motherboard/Pentiumpro/P3v133/index.html" target="_new">AsusP3V133 with VIA KX133 chipset.</A> This chipset has a clock of 133 MHz, and they say it supports 133MHz SDRAM.
The problem is that my current RAM is some dinosaur 66mhz SDRAM! :redface: Does anybody know if I can use my older SDRAM with the newer chipset despite the clock speed difference?
It doesn't clearly say whether slower RAM is supported or not on the Asus website.
