mixing of RAM (pc100, pc133, pc66)

[Dedpuhl]

Would any problems arise if I were to mix 128 megs of pc133 ram with 128 megs of pc100 ram? Will it make a difference?

No problems..Just that you memory would be limited by the SLOWEST of the ram..Hence PC66 would probably be slower is CAS timing than the others so that is what you would get across the board..

sell the old ones, so the new memory can work at it's best

Well, I'm taking that the fsb is only running at 100mhz so while you can put pc133 in the system, sellling your pc100 for another stick of pc133 woudl be useless, since it's not going to get anymore performance above 100mhz unless you o/c. If you care about things such as cas latency depending on how old the pc100 is it may only have a latency of 3, but I still would find that rediculous to buy new ram for a change in the cas2 latency alone.

If you are running the FSB at 100Mhz (on a 440BX chipset) then it seems somewhat unnecessary to get PC133 ram, just stick with the cheaper PC100 stuff.
