If I have a stick of pc2100 and pc2700 , both 256MB of RAM, will the PC2100 prevent me from overclocking? And I bought this mobo (pc chips socket 478 2.8GHz CPU) how can I find out what type ram I can get? I want to get a PC3200 but i dont know if its compatiable with it. :D
 
The PC2100 will only prevent you from overclocking because it has a slower speed it's guranteed to run at. Since the PC2700 will be running at PC2100 speeds you know it will be OK until the FSB is clocked high enough that your RAM speed hits 333MHz DDR (from 266MHz).

What chipset is it? You can probably put PC3200 on it without any problems.
 
Right now its a houston,TX cuz i moved so i cant access it right now.... but its a PC Chips motherboard, 2 RAM slots, a AGP Slot, no ISA or PCIE, integrated video, sound, network. has the 600w powork PSU, socket 478 processor, Pentium 4 2.8Ghz overclocked to 3.03Ghz... dont know FSB... got it from partspc
 
Well if oyu had a picture ni can compare.... but let me get this straight: the 2700 is being run at a 2100 speed cause I have a stick of 2100? thanks!
 
Yes, your RAM will only run as fast as the slowest stick installed.

A picture of the chipset wont help, they all look very similar except for the silk writing on it.
