I have recently purchased a P3 450Mhz, and replaced my P2 300MHz. My
mohterboard is an Abit 440BX, and has a SoftSet menu. ALthough it was
reading the new proc as a P2, I could still set the menu to see it as a
450Mhz (100 MHz bus).

The PC booted up fine, but as soon as Windows started to load, it errored
with this:

"An exception 0E has occured at 0028:C000AB12 in VxD VMM (D1) + 00009B12.
This was called from 0028:C1414240 in VxD ---. It may be possible to
continue normally."

Well, it didn't. Windows then said "Windows Protection error. You need to
restart your computer".

Now, when I put my old P2 back in, it worked fine. So, my question is this-
do I need special speed memory to use with a P3/ 440BX motherboard? I know
there are 100MHz speed DIMMS out there, but I am not entirely sure that I
have them in my system?

Any susggestions greatfully received! It would be preferable if you could
mail me any answers, as my NG access is limited.

Many thanks,
