Can I use pc2100 in a Canterwood P4 2.4c oveclocked setup?

[rabbit fighter]

Title says it all. I have two sticks of pc2100 that I'm hoping will work with the Abit canterwood or springdale boards, with a 2.4c 800Mhz overclocked to 3+ Ghz. I know I can tone down the memory settings, pc2700 would work, but 2100? Anybody know?

PC2100 is rated for 133mhz operation. At 3ghz, your FSB is 250. Even with a 3:2 (lowest possible ratio), the slowest the memory bus will be is 167. If your PC2100 can run stable at 167 then yes you can use it, otherwise no way.

Beautifully put! Rabbit - get some PC3200+ ASAP for that puppy!
