Hey i just bought some 256MB PC133 ram....i have PC100 slots but i know its compatible...The brand is ULTRA and when i put it in like it only says its like 32 mb...and then it wont start windows and crap...plz help me!

Is this 256 mem stick in addition to memory already there?
My Dad had a problem trying to add more memory to his POS Compaq. Finally, it turns out that both sticks had to be the same speed (pc 133 or 100) and his mobo would only support 384MB of Ram anyway.
I am hardly an expert on computer hardware so, with luck, someone more knowlegable will come along.

[Dalegas]

I am.

It may be that u have a problem w/ the ram... 2 months ago I bought a 512 module and it worked fine.. but there was something wrong about it.. From time to time the pc used to hang up....
