Memory and cpu clockrate issues

[SirNuke]

I have a duron 800mhz (200mhz bus)
Due to odd pin configuration of the computer, 266mhz ddr is only aviable, will this work?

Thanks in advance

Should work but what would help more is if we knew what make and model of MB you had

Happydownloader is correct. The motherboard will determine what memory can be used.

All the athlon chipsets made allow for an asynchronous memory clock (except maybe the AMD 761 chipset, not sure about that one).

Are you talking about a motherboard that supports older SDram and newer DDR, something like the ECS K7S5A, which has two pairs of memory slots for both types (one type at a time) well yes, you will have no problems using PC2100DDR (PC266) with a 200fsb Duron.

Replying helps further our knowledge, without comment leaves us wondering.

Thanks

I have the almighty cheap K7ama (ECS maybe? the manual has no references to the company). It has two 168 pin sdram slots 100/133, and two 184 pin ddr slots. It claims the max memory bus is 100/133. It seems a lot of this ddr is in the 168 pin configuration, not the 168 pin (the mb does not support high density memory, very anoying because the I wanted to get a 512 memory chip.

This your board?

Yes. The page says the memory works (the manual is not specific).
