RAM question....

[CrowDog]

I have a 64mb stick of PC100 cas2 RAM and a 128mb stick of PC133 cas3 RAM.
Can I use them together in the same system? And why or whynot?
Thanx guys

Yes, you can use them at the same system at 100Mhz. You might be able to run it at 133Mhz CAs3 too.

133Mhz are backwards compatible with 100Mhz.

How would I run the 64mb stick of pc100 at 133? Im a noob....but with yur help.... I will learn

Well, I'm sure you know how to set the speed in your BIOS?? SOme of the 100Mhz CAS2 rated ram are able to run at 133Mhz CAS3. You only lower the timing of the ram from CAs2 to CAs3 to make it more stable.
