I read Mr. Smith's answer. I have seen problems with putting certain new kinds of memory in older boxes, which is to say, that the machine won't even boot. If you try this, make sure you can return the memory. Also, make sure you can set the motherboard for whatever voltage the memory requires, or you might burn it out, and have to eat it. --doug At 11:47 06/06/2002 -0400, Stephen H Carbin wrote:
I have inherited a Packard Bell Multimedia 730 box, it has a Cyrix processor (266 mhz), and hardly any RAM. A quick surf to crucial.com shows that this takes 66mhx non-parity SDRAM (cl-2) , unfortunately it only has 2 memory slots, and they only offer 32 meg modules. Since the motherboard will accept 128 meg (according to crucial), I'd like to put more than 64 in this box. I am not having much luck finding 64 or 128 meg modules. Can I substitute any other type? Must it be 66mhz, or is anything else backward-compatible? Any ideas of good info URL's? Thanks in advance.
