jdair101 Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Hi everyone. I just transfered everything from my old case into a Therm-XaserIII and want to build my old case into a system for "the" wife. I want to buy a K7- 810DLM2K Motherboard with everything on board except the ram, and use my exsisting PC2100 ddr on it. This will give me everything I need for her. Now- My main system is a AMD XP1800 on a MSI k7t266 Pro Mother Board. (to be updated sometime to A7N8X Deluxe with a XP2500) Can I use PC3200 on what I have now?? If this is possible I will be able to buy ram 1 time? I hope this makes sence to everyone. Thanks Jim P.S. You know if I can swing this I will have 2 machines (at home) FOLDING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Yes the A7N8X Deluxe boards are compatible with PC3200 ram Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdair101 Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Thanks-but is the pc3200 compatable with the board I use now. See I want to buy it now and use it for a while on the MSI k7t266 Pro until the upgrade to the other board and cpu? Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 No you can't. I checked your manual... some searching.. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manu...ail.php?UID=386 supports up to 2gb of pc2100/pc1600 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 jeez I can't believe we're debating this. pc3200 is it's max speed. 2100 is what it will run at on that board (chipset limitations). so yes it will work even though the manual says 2100. I have done this before and it works just fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FxXP Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 Yummay...the PCChips 810 series line of boards, good for basic applications and will make a good folder as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
