One more question:
Can overclocking the CPU damage the RAM ?
Doubtful unless your fiddling with voltages as well.
My CPU is a Pentium III Copermine, 100Mhz, 3.5 clock rate, but it runs at 138Mhz - 5.5 clock rate (so 759Mhz instead of 350Mhz). The SDRAM I've just ordered is PC100. Should I switch back the CPU clock frequency to 100Mhz or will the RAM support the 138Mhz ?
RAM of varying quality will fail at different frequencies. Only way to know is to test it or buy memory guaranteed to work at that frequency. NB: Borderline RAM will work when cold and die when hot. Run tests for long time. -- Robert "roach" Spencer Pietermaritzburg South Africa
