You would be better off purchasing a new machine. Rambus memory

This says the Dimension 8100 motherboard has an 850 Northbridge.

It seems to be FSB400 according to this.

You can verify the details, by running CPUZ.

Paul, I noticed your answers are always so accurate, and detailed.

Ever thought of going into business?

Do you believe in karma? :-)

I'm curious what kind of business I'd be
suited to. By whatever metrics are available,
I don't fit any slots. A square peg in a world
of round holes.

But, you are extremely helpful in these newsgroups, please keep it up!
(maybe this is your 'square hole')
