Can i mix PC-100 with PC-133 SDRAM

[Panakk]

Will it work??

Yup, keep in mind that PC-133 will scale back to 100Mhz.

You can try upping your DRAM clock anyway and running the PC100 @ 133 as well. It works for me with PC100 Kingston ValueRAM (I also have some PC133 Crucial).

Sure you can mix'em. PC133 SDRAM is cheaper than PC100 SDRAM. You may be able to scale the PC100 SDRAM to 133Mhz but not all RAM is capable of this. Sell your PC100 SDRAM and go exclusively with PC133 SDRAM.

Is there a way to tell in Win 2k if all of your ram is running at PC133? Because I put a piece of RAM in my computer (my friend didn't know if it was PC100 or PC133) and I mixed it with my two other PC133 chips...in windows all I see is 512mb...is there any way to verify it is running at PC133? I believe I even set it in my BIOS...but I forgot...
