I have a dell dimension T700r and i already have 2 dimms of 128 mn pc 100. I got a dimm of kingston 256mb pc 133 ram, and when i installed it, my computer wont boot all the way, i can get into the bios, but thats it. If i put in just the pc133 stick and not the others, nothing at all happens. When i have them all in, in the bios, it shows all the memory slots full and what is in each of them. Ive been told that 100 and 133 can be put together, but the 133 will run at 100. Am i screwed or is there somethin i can do?

Thanks

Are the PC100 you have are ECC? or non-ECC.
If one of them (either Pc100, or PC133) are ECC, no-mix.

ECC memory is built with a multiple of 9 chips. Non-ECC is built with an even number of chips.


or may be the pc133 is dead?
