Hi Abe. I have a question, even though its not quite related to this message
thread. Its about that RAM speed rating you mentioned. Is it okay to use PC-100
with a fast Athlon system? Somebody told me I'd have to dump the RAM I'm using
with my current K6-III/475mhz, if I upgraded to an Athlon. (bottleneck)

Thanks for any info!
