Old Chips in New Mobo
 

I want to upgrade my motherboard to an Asus P4P800-E but I'm not yet
ready to upgrade the CPU nor the Ram (I will upgrade in stages). Will I
have any problems installing the old chips in a new motherboard? Both
are Socket 478, and both take 184-Pin DIMMS. I have an Asus p4pe with 3
PC 2100 DIMMS and a 1.8 mhz Pentium 4.

If you use all three DIMMs, the memory will run in virtual single
channel mode. Either using two matched DIMMs, or two matched pairs
of DIMMs, would allow dual channel mode, which will help application
performance a few percent. More details he
