Ram Memory?
I am trying to upgrade from a 64mb to a 128mb Ram.My
computer says It has a Celeron 900MHXZ/100MHZ. When shopping I find a message that PC133 Moduels are no longer backward Compatable with Pc 100 Machines. What is a PC133 mod. and how does it differ from a PC 100. Is the Pc 133 module faster than the 100? If I can get one of the original compatable pc133 modules for my compute will it be a better choice than a PC 100 module? CONFUSED |

'tis true. Most memory manufacturers are warning about this. A quick

That wasn't true until recently, and shouldn't be relied on, considering the extra expense you pay for and get no use from.
