I bought 2 128MB PC100 for my 66MHz ASUS, hoping that the dimms would
still be usable when I get a new motherboard someday.
I ran memtest86 for about 24 hours, no problems, and have been running
fine ever since (several months).
I started having problems recently (filesystem errors and signal 11) so I
ran memtest86 again and one of the dimms has gone bad. I took it out and
put back in an old regular 32MB dimm, and the two mixed togeter (160MB)
ran memtest86 fine overnight, and seems OK after about a week.
I don't know why the dimm went bad. I wouldn't think it's because the
100/66MHz issue.
Please explain why you think PC100 shouldn't be in a 66MHz board. Do you
have any ponters to info on the web?
