The 600E and 570, even though they're on a 66MHz FSB, will work reliably with
PC100 RAM provided it's low density (32X64) and CL2. Basically, if it works in a
600E, it will work in a 570. They're built on the same 440BX chipset.

570 - Intel 440BX AGPset / Intel 82371EB PIIX4E / PCI1450 for CardBus / AGP for
graphics / ADM1021 digital thermometer / PCI 2.1 / 32-bit / PC97338 Super I/O /
ISA

600E - Intel 440BX AGPset / Intel 82371EB PIIX4E / PCI1251 for CardBus / AGP for
graphics / LM75 digital thermometer / PCI 2.1 / 32-bit / PC97338 Super I/O / ISA

Same memory in my 600X is what's in my 570E, and in my T21 which also choked on
PC133 sticks.

James
