thank you for help. i don't know where to look for this answer! i am just trying to know if i should order PC133 for future upgradablity, or if that won't work with the other PC100 in my system. i was just thinking because alot of people here overclock the RAM, can't you underclock it too? thanks.

>oh in case this matters the computer is a intel810 based motherboard with celeron 366 processor.<

Yes, higher speed memory modules (e.g. PC-133) will almost always work on lower frequencys (e.g. 100Mhz).

Thats a pretty big hard drive for a 286. My 486SX 25MHz had a 250MB drive. Thats a really big PSU too. I don't think they had 300W PSUs in the 286 days. Heck the 486 had 150W or something like that.

Naw, they were around.
Probably borrowed from a server or something along those lines.
I've seen em though.
Even dual fan models
