Just wondering if PC100 and PC133 are compatible with each other. I have a celeron 400. Thanks.

Yes they are. the only thing is that it will run at the slowest of the two sticks. So your pc133 stick will be running pc100.

I have 3 memory sticks on my Celeron 433 system. One is PC66, one is PC100 and the other is PC133.

As far as I can tell, it runs fine. Of course, my FSB is set to 66 MHz.

Hmm, that's strange you should say that... I thought the FSB speed determins the speed of the memory? Please tell me if I'm wrong! In that case I lied earlier, and my PC-100 doesn't run at 140mhz...:Q

they will be fine if you run at 100MHz FSB. If you try to run at 133Mhz, your PC-133 stick of ram may not be able to handle that speed and cause big problems.

I am sure you meant to say &quot;If you try to run at 133Mhz, your PC-100 stick of ram may not be able to handle..&quot;
