will running pc100 and pc 133ram together work?

[jseber1982]

Ok my wifes computer has a stick of 128mb pc100 in it. i Also put in a stick of 256mb pc133. I noticed that the system went to crap and got slow afterwards. I figure that the pc133 ram would run at pc100 to match the other stick of pc100. Is this so? or do they run at different speeds and muck everything up.

Thanks

i had one 33 and one 66 stick in my comp lately. I am not sure, but I think they were both running at 33

both sticks will run at PC100 your better off leaving the 256-133 in and take out the PC100

same as Cappy

I did do that, but the system locks up every few mins with the 256 in, im guessin its bad ram

Sounds like it if you're gettin system lockups...or maybe it's dusty or needs a format or maybe the ram wasn't installed good enough...little things like that

Make sure its in the correct slot

best way to find a correct slot is with the tip of your left index finger...just be careful not to touch any electrical parts. you might void the warranty of the whole hand and i tell you finding even spare fingers can be really frustrating. but this is just my opinion.
