I have an AMD Athlon 1100Mhz socket A CPU, any offers on where I can find out what RAM it should run with? I have tried it in my existing machine running DDR PC2100 but it doesn't boot. Could this be a damaged CPU or just the wrong RAM?

Need m/b make model and chipset mfg. if possible!!!!

It should work. It depends on the Memory-controller(i.e. the chipset), not the CPU what memory you can use.

Make sure your FSB is set to 100MHz both in BIOS and via jumper on your motherboard(if there is a jumper for setting FSB - refer to your manual for details).

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 89W :: Asus M2N32SLI Deluxe :: 2x1024MB Muskin XP2-6400 DDR2-800 :: BeQuiet! Darkpower Pro 530W :: 2x WD Raptor 74GB/10k rpm, RAID 0 :: ATI Radeon X1950XTX

1100 Mhz must be a 100 Mhz FSB CPU. PC2100 should do it easily.

Maybe you have a different multiplier set on your motherboard, or your FSB is set to 133 which would make the CPU run @ 1.46 Ghz which is quite an overclock.

I've also got a 1.1GHz T'bird, but I use it on an Asus A7N8X mobo. This mobo supports DDR RAM up to PC3200. I've got 1 gig of PC3200 installed and I have to run it at PC1600 (ie in sync with the processor, 100MHz) for the computer to run in a stable manner.

I did run the memory at it's rated speed (BY SPD in the bios) but this was giving me random reboots every day. I set the speed to AUTO in the BIOS and it is as stable as a rock and a [content edited] of a lot faster than it used to be with only 256meg in it! (I now get an average of 20fps on IL2:FB, whereas I used to get an average of 4!
