Hi

I have two dimms of micron 128 PC 133

one of them have 4 chip and one 8 chip

what is better and what is the different ?

The difference is that the 4 chip DIMM has chips of a higher density. Essentially there is no difference....it should be cheaper for manufacturers producing the higher density chips.

The problem is that there are some chipsets that won't handle very high density RAM.
 
Hi AndyHui,

your answer was close, but not completly correct.

If you have a 128MB stick with just 4 devices this has to be 256Mb chips in a x16 organisation. And in a x16 organisation they have the same addresspace as 128Mb chips in a x8 org. Therefore it is not difference to the chipset.
You are right, that normally 256Mb chips are not recogniced by older chipsets. But in this config it shouldn't be a problem.

I havn't seen 128MB Dimms based on 256Mb devices right now. I assume the 4 device stick is quite new. And especially i didn't knew, that Micron is offering this kind of DIMMs already!

ZigZag,

maybe I understood your message wrong in one point. Is your complete amout of memory 128MB, or is every stick 128MB ?
