i would like to install a new ram chip but i need to know
how to find out which one to install pc133 or pc100 how
do i access the info on my comp
 
PC133 will work in a PC66/PC100 or PC133 system and it is
now the least expensive.

PC133 will not necessarily work under a PC100 or PC66
environment. In thoery, yes it should work but I have
seen some memory, specific vendors will remain nameless,
not work in a PC100 setup eventhough it was PC133
memory. Best thing you can do is find some PC133 memory
and check with the vendor to make sure it will work in
both a PC133 and PC100 environment. Then you will not
have to know which bus speed you are running, assuming
you are using normal SDRAM and not DDR or RDRAM.

I believe it has to do with chip density, most reputable sellers will say
that the new PC133 memory may not work with systems calling for PC100
memory. Try using the memory configurator at www.crucial.com.
