Memory Question

[gogeeta13]

In terms of pc-133 ram i have a Question. I am looking at buying this ram128mb Micron PC-133. It says it is 7.5 ns. Do i want a lower or higher "ns". And is this good memory. I heard micron is good. Is 48+11 shipping a good price? BTW i will be adding it to a system with a abit 440bx, p3500 and already 128mb of PC-100(generic) installed. Thanx

You want lower ns, 7.5 is standard pc133. Micron makes good ram, verasoft sells micron chips on third party pcb. The price is ok but crucial sells genuine micron ram for 61 and free shipping.

will the PC-133 micron memory from crucial be compatible with my current pc-100 generic memory?

BTW, Tonec, can you give me a link to the micron ram on crucial?

I think this is the Micron link that you want. This is the PC 133 128 MB CAS 3 RAM.

gogeeta13,

Yes, the PC133 RAM should be compatible with your PC100 memory, it's just that the PC133 will only run approx. as fast as your PC100. But, you can still use the two memory types in the same system.

Thanx everyone, just one more question. What does cas latency mean? And do i want higher or lower?
