100 mhz sdram memory
Can I use 100 mhz memory in a machine that uses 133 mhz?
I want to run a test on my system, but I don't have enough 133mhz memory. I have 512 mb of 100 mhz memory that I can use if it will work. |

I want to run a test on my system, but I don't have enough 133mhz memory. I have 512 mb of 100 mhz memory that I can use if it will work. It SHOULD work. However, the second stick MIGHT be limited. MOST RAM in that category will support 66/100/133 to support diferent FSB speeds. Toss it in and see. It will probably work just fine. Do keep in mind that if you go above the 512 MB RAM mark with ME you'll run into some issues though they're fairly easy to fix. Galen -- Signature changed for a moment of silence.

N.B. All installed memory will run at the slowest speed of any installed
module. Timing issues may prevent the different modules from interoperating. Simple testing will quickly resolve the question. -- Jack E.

I want to see how well the system will run with 512mb (in preparation for
upgrading to XP) If I understand you correctly I should take out the 133mhz and fill the slots with the 100mhz so there is no conflict between the 2 speeds? "Jack E Martinelli" wrote in message ...

Your 133 MHz memory hopefully will fall back to 100 MHz to cooperate with
the memory of that speed. If you appear to have problems, remove it to test. Watch the POST screen to see how much memory is recognized by the BIOS at startup. -- Jack E.

It might be worth using Everest HE (freeware) -
http://www.lavalys.com/products.php?lang=en - to try a 'comparative' benchmark test, to see the effects of placing the different combinations of RAM chips. 'Benchmark' is menu item available as a (fairly basic) memory speed testing utility. Mart "Jack E Martinelli" wrote in message ...
