Default 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

Take a look at www.crucial.com and look up your system and see what is
compatible.

'tis true. Most memory manufacturers are warning about this. A quick
Google should give you the details.

hmm... the reason seems to be that the SPD timings might be different...
but that's really a BIOS issue more than anything else... also SDRAM
produced as 66/100 is generally 5V as opposed to 100/133 @ 3.3V. Learn
something new every day.

Watch out for latency timing too: CL3, CL2.5 or CL2.0, they don't mix in
the same system and require BIOS adjustments if even supported. RTFM to be
sure.

Well I"m mixing CL3 and "CL2.5" semi-successfully (I'm only getting CL3)

A lot of boards fall back to the lowest stting available. That wasn't true
until recently, and shouldn't be relied on, considering the extra expense
you pay for and get no use from. JMH accounting O.
