What is the speed for pc2100 ram? I just got my a7n8x mobo with a xp1800 tbred. I'm just trying to get an idea what its capable of.

266mhz. So it will be fine for the 1800+ tbred. That's a nice mobo you got there.:)Quote:

who makes it? If your are wondering, My cheap PNY PC2100 with 8ns chips can hit a 155FSB with max timmings with just 2.8volts. That will give you a healthy boost in overall preformace.:cool:
Crucial
Actually , it runs at 133MHz ( or we say 266MHz data rate ) at default.Quote:

Crucial Micron Cl 2,5 PC2100 can hit 160MHz CL2 at 2.7V DDR voltage .
tested by running Quake3 Demo normal 3 times and torture test in Prime 95 , 10 iterations.
I don't know about that.Quote:

I have 2 sticks of crucial PC2100 ram. If I set it at 166fsb with slow memory timings... i can run a game for maybe five minutes and then I get a weird error message about having problems reading/writing to some memory address. I backed it off to 150 with aggressive timings (5-2-2-2.5) and now I get the error message rarely although it still happens.
When it was set to 166fsb, it was able to pass the memory burn-in test in SiSoft Sandra (as well as memtest) however when it got to the file system test where it fills up all of the system ram, it gave me that same error message about having problems reading/writing to some memory address.
I know it is possible I just got 1 or 2 sticks of ram that don't overclock well, but I would strongly suggest that anyone with PC2100 from crucial try the file system test in SiSoft Sandra and see if they don't have the same problem.
i have two sticks of crucial PC2100 running at 166fsb in turbo mode. if anything, the stability only increased after i added the second stick. this stuff will hit 180fsb no problem (until prime95, that is :D ). everything else runs fine, though, including sandra -- i can run that file system test no prob at 166fsb even with windows media player streaming internet audio in the background. maybe there are variances between individual sticks, or you got a bad stick, Paladyr. all i can say is great ram.
It must be my sticks then. Is it at default voltage?Quote:

2.7v w/the 2 sticks. with one stick, i needed 2.9.
I thought 2.85 was the highest you should go without damaging the RAM?Quote:

I'm gonna have to try them individually because I have a 3rd I can use.
apparently not with Crucial. :DQuote:

Well it might be... you just don't know it yet :(.Quote:

The RAM is rated to run at 133MHz. If you go above that, it is o/c and your results may vary!
What ram are you using?Quote:

I have 2 x 256MB of generic PC2700 with Samsung chips. However, with a 146MHz FSB, my RAM has no problems with agressive timings, because it is "underclocked" right now.Quote:
