Here is a simple one...
I have bought a RAM chip, PC133, for when I build my second computer. Until then, I am using the PC133 is my Gateway computer which is 66MHz. I have heard that PC133 will work fine on my computer, but I have also heard that it may cause my computer to respond slower (God Forbid) and may freeze. What do you all think?

My 66MHZ MOBO was made for 5V dimms.
The PC100 I got was for 3.3V.
I got conflicting advice on whether to use it or not.
It worked fine, but I pulled it out becuase I did not want to fry it.
You may want to check into this.

Depending on your chipset your system may not cache more than 64 megs of ram so it would be slower in some things but overall your system is better off with more ram.
