RAM Question

This may sound like a newbie question, but Im wondering if I could put 133/mhz ram in combination with my current 100/mhz. Right now I have 128 of it, but won another 128 on ebay for 20 bucks!

Any ideas?
 
I have some 100 and 133 running and have not had any problems. the 133 is the same type of memory just has a lower nanosecond rating. I did have a dealer tell me sometimes different types of ram might not like each other. I have yet to experience this but if it does not work I would say it is this as oppossed to the 100 vs 133 issue. Hope this helps.
 
Yes, the 133 will run at 100. The 100 *may* run at 133 if you change the settings in your BIOS, but that's definitely not guaranteed to work.
 
I have 128 MB Centon 133 MHz stick along with 128 Mb generic 100 MHz stick running happily in my AMD K6-III+ right now. It works great without any issues.
 
I've also heard that some types of ram do not comingle very well...ram made by company x might not work well with ram made by company y. However, as for the 100/133, it will work fine...I used to have my old PIII setup like that with 256 at 100, 256 at 133 (planning ahead to upgrading mobo/cpu). The faster ram simply runs slower...

The speed difference is TOTALLY NOT NOTICEABLE!!! I am switching from 512 of PC-100 to 512 of PC-2100 (133MHz) DDRSDRAM...can't tell a damn difference under normal operation. Some large Photoshop files seem to benefit from the added speed...but not much else.
