If you search for posts done by ~qwerty I recall he explained quite a bit about RAM and other such peripherals, haven't seen him around in ages though, his posts were done probably a year ago.
forget the PC part in front 'pc', I think it is irrelevant, basically it's telling you what speed the RAM supports for FSB (Front Side Bus), Say you have a Celeron 500MHz CPU with a FSB of 100, you can use RAM speeds 100 or 133, although 133 will not make it go faster as you are limited to FSB. You can't run RAM that's pc-66 on it unless you are willing to take the risk, basically it'll be like overclocking RAM which can result in damage to your equipment and you won't be covered by it. This is however for SD RAM not DDR, DDR is a whole new set of fish. |
