Default PC 133MHz or PC 100MHz ???

I would prefer to upgrade my system RAM using PC133, but I thought I saw a posting (some time ago) in the DUC saying that PC100 was preferable. The compatibility docs make no mention of this. Any ideas? ...anyone?

Pc100/Pc133 - Does NOT make a difference...

Hi vshu/Xman,

In general, anything you can do to make your system faster will help when doing real-time audio with Pro Tools FREE (faster CPUs are better, a faster system bus is better, a disk drive with faster seek times is better, etc.).

If you have a chipset in your PC that is capable of taking advantage of PC133 RAM (that is, a chipset with a 133 MHz Front-Side Bus), then using PC133 RAM is best.

However, if you have a computer with a FSB (system bus) that runs at 100 MHz or 66 MHz, using PC133 memory won't help you.
