PC133 & PC100 at the same time -- Question!

[Nighthawk69]

Hey all-

I've got Micron PC-100 ram right now and I want to get a 256MB stick of Micron now... if I get PC-133 will it run at 133Mhz or at the slower speed of the 100Mhz? AND.. is it worth getting PC133?

Thanks all!

So what would you recommend:

1. Keep my current RAM in there and have a total of 352MB after I put the new in (PC100 or PC133?)

2. Just use the new PC133 stick and try to sell the PC100?

the PC100 may do 133, though the chance is slim. try it out

Ok.. what would you guys recommend doing? Get rid of the PC100 and just have 256MB RAM.. or keep some PC100 and use the 256MB PC133 to have 352MB?

I always sell my slower ram...If you are getting 256 mg of pc-133..I would think that 256 is plenty unless you are computing for NASA. Run with the faster ram for increased memory bandwidth.
