I want to use another main board on my PC. I have one
that provides FSB of 266. Can I use any DDR RAM chips
that are greater than DDR 2100. I have some DDR 2700
chipsOr, must I use only DDR 2100. Are DDR memory
downward compatible?
 
It should work,but you wont be able to use the full ram
capacity,it will only work at the slower speed.
 
I would like to find a web page that will address
backward compatibility of memory. Can you suggest one?

I don't know exactly what "backword compatibility" is, but
www.crucial.com will tell you lots about the memory chips if you have
a specific mobo or PC model in mind. Decent proces, too, if you
decide to buy.

by 'backward compatibility" is this: Will the faster
memory modules that are being produced now work in
sockets of the same type (number of pins) on mother
boards that have say 200/266 FSB while the newer faster
chips are designed to operate up to 3, 4, 500 FSB?
