eMachines 500a came with one 64mb pc-100 and i have access to 2 128mb pc-133. can i use these in my machine ? thanks

You should be able to; however, these sticks of PC133 will be underclocked if your RAM slots are PC100.

as long as their is no stability or compatibility problems. i think my problems are coming from the stock pc 100 64mb stick and one of the 133 128mb sticks in there together so i wanted to use two of the same 128mb sticks and 133 is all i have access to cheaply. so are you saying they will work just not to the 133 potential. as long as the full 256mb is accessable.

this PC is going to the wife soon as i build my custom job.

while i got ya here is there a way to have two pc's on the same dial-up line ? hope to get DSL soon but have no idea when that will be. i need to be able to "work" and she wants to play yahoo games ? yes? no? maybe?

thanks

Without significantly compromising bandwith, no, there's no way to share a dial-up connection on the same line. I'd just wait for DSL if I were you.

so the 133 sticks will serve the purpose ?

Yes, they should.
