I just got an AMD 3000+ that has a 333 FSB, is it ok if I use PC 2100 memory with it? Its all I have, I know 2700 is recommended, but will 2100 work also? I dont really want to buy new RAM if I dont have to, thanks!!

Yes as long your MB manual or Gig's website says it can .
It just anything going thru memory will only be moving at the pc2100's speed ,so the MB is kind of only running that speed but the faster Proc. will still improve things .
Yes. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gifQuote:

Really depends on what you are doing, you are robbing yourself of 600MBPS memory bandwidth. So anything that is incredibly memory intensive (games, video/audio editing) will suffer
