Don't quote me on this but my initial answer is NO! You can put faster memory into a slower motherboard , say 133MHZ RAM into a 100MHz motherboard and the fast memory will happily drop speed. Many PC users installed PC133 RAM into PC100 motherboards when it was cheaper than PC100 RAM. As far as I'm aware you cannot run 100MHz RAM in a 133MHz motherboard. I'm not sure how various accelrator card manufacturers get around this problem, since their upgrade card will still use the existing memory, even though it is slower.

Will it adjust itself to the bus speed or do I have to have a 133mhz bus model? Pete -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
