I have had 64 mb of PC 100 ram for a long time now, I just purchased 128mb of PC133 ram. can they coexsist together? after I installed the pc133 the computer starting having multiple illigal errors and such. I took out the 64 mb pc 100 and left the pc133 in alone, the computer wouldn't even start then, just kept beeping. when I took out the pc133 and put the pc100 in alone, everything returned to normal. did they people I bought it from give me bad ram or can pc100 and pc133 not coexsist together?

What motherboard?

I've heard that some motherboards are picky when using different types of RAM, even at the same speed rating.

They RAM should be able to coexist with each other, the 133 would default down to 100. Sounds to me like a bad RAM DIMM. (I had the same problem as you with some crap RAM I bought)
