Pc Memory ?

[DarkClown12]

i have a pc that has 64 mb of ram it has one slot left on the motherboard and i tried pc 133 memory but it didnt work, i think it needs pc 100. my ? is can i get something besides pc100 memory and put in it on the pc?

pc133 should be compatabile with a pc100 board, as it will just run slower,

cant exactly tell you much if u dont post the board info or anything.

that may be your problem, your board can only support 256mb in total, in 2 banks, so 128mb in each bank, try get yourself a hold of a 128mb pc133 and it should work, or 2x128mb pc133 and get rid of the current 64mb stick.

it should, or infact it will work/

i would upgrade the cpu, and graphics card aswell. nothing major on the g/c end, or cpu, just abit faster, or you may be better buying a new board/cpu/ram and graphics card

[DarkClown12]

Should i even try and upgrade this machine and what should i upgrade about it?
