Lowest processor for pc133 ram

[bk12321]

I am gonna make a crap system with some extra stuff I have but i'm missing just a couple things. What is the lowest processor that can use pc133 ram (I have 2 256mb sticks)?

I think some Pentium motherboards used SDRAM, but I think most were EDO RAM. If I were you I'd get an old Pentium 2 with motherboard. They used SDRAM (PC66, PC100, and PC133 depending on the processor and motherboard).

PC66, PC100, and PC133 depending on the processor and motherboard

thats why I was asking which processor was the lowest for using pc133. I found a couple that were up to pc100, but I got tired of searching after like 30 minutes. I have a couple pII's thats why I am asking.

it's more the chipset than the processor

like my old 440bx or the 810e chipset boards that i used to have would not take pc133, but the i815 would . . . do you have a board, or are you just starting the look?

lowest cpu ive seen with pc 133 is a p2 400 but ive seen them go as high as some old amd duron boards using pc133 or ddr u had a choise 2 slots for each

I believe the slowest processor that takes advantage of a 133mhz bus (without overclocking) would be the slot 1 533mhz Pentium 3.

My slot 1 P3-500 gateway runs a FSB of 100Mhz, so I feed it PC100.

just starting the look, trying to build a POS system like I said, I have a couple processors ( a p2 333 and a celeron 566 I think, or 533), 4 sticks of ram (2 pc133 256mb and 2 pc100 unknown sizes). The system is going to be for my stepbrother who recently lost his laptop to a power surge. He doesnt have the money to repair it.

Just need a case, a hard drive, and a couple other things (processor for one)


I wanna try to get a DECENT processor (ideally 750+mhz) that works with the ram for him. The 333p2 is really slow for what he is doing on the computer, something a little faster with a little more ram is what I am trying to build.

my 440bx abit bp6 has no problems with pc133, besides pc133 ram itll be perfectly fine running at 100MHz or 66Mhz

I think the first Intel Procs that had a 133fsb were the PIII600EB series if my memory serves me correctly.
