Not sure of the first nos but youre describeing, 133 mhz and 66 mhz,usually
one is offered 100 or 133 mhz,133 being the faster of the two.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PC2100(266-MHz)ANDPC2700
(333-MHz)DDR SDRAM(non-ECC)
Click to expand...

The PC2700 is capable of operating at a higher speed (333 mhz) than
the PC2100.

The speed that memory will actually operate at depends on both the
type of memory and the capabilities of the computer motherboard.

If a given motherboard will only operate the RAM at 266 mhz then using
the (usually a bit more expensive) PC2700 RAM would be wasteful as it
will only operate at PC2100 speed.

On the other hand using PC2100 RAM in a machine that is capable of
using PC2700 would result in reduced performance because the RAM will
be operated at the slower speed.

Most motherboards auto-detect the type of RAM that is installed and
configure themselves accordingly.

Hope this explains the situation.

Actually the RAM will operate at the mobo speed, but PC2100
(266 on FSB 133) may fail or be unreliable on a 333 (166
FSB).
