Hi all... I think I made a mistake today <G>. I got a 128mb memory card that says it's a PC133 type on it. I think that my system is running all PC100 chips. Can I use these chips together? BTW I'm running a PI/233mhz system.

Should be able to... only one way to find out and that is to try it. I have noticed that there seem to be some pc133 chips on the market recently that won't work in pc100 or pc66 systems even though they are supposed to be backwards compatible.

use these chips together?

There's no guarantee, but there's a good chance it'll work. When I wanted 128Mb PC66 memory for an old PC, all I could get was PC100 and it worked fine. -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.

The speed is an indication of how long of an interval the RAM needs before needing refreshed. Faster memory should always work, as it is just getting refreshed before it actually needs it, wasteful but harmless. It should work fine, as long as the original memory wasn't marginal to begin with. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
