| 271649 | 2004-09-12 16:03:00 | Ram speed . Is this theory seriously flawed? Pc100 Sd Ram is theoretically 25% slower than Pc 133 Sd Ram . Therefore 2 clone machines: 1 With 128 Mb Pc 133 Sd Ram . 1 With 160 Mb Pc 100 Sd Ram . The Pc 100 Equipped machine, having 25% more ram, should perform at almost/the same speed as the Pc133 Equipped machine . If it was Hydraulic, I could say yes, and prove it . Being Ram, inside an electronic item, with Nanoseconds and resistances, I do not completely understand it . Is this layman theory close enough to be considered correct? |

| 271650 | 2004-09-12 20:49:00 | I spose it would depend on the bus speed of the mobo as well. Or the mobo itself. That the ram is installed in. |

| 271652 | 2004-09-12 21:32:00 | I would say ram speed wouldnt just be about the ram when its in a system. It could be the CPU and the operating system as well. On how fast a PC loads etc. |

Yes its flawed, you havent provided enough infomation to make a decision. At the very least we you need to know bus speed, type of CPU would help and motherboard would be nice to know aswell. |

He wants to know whether the ram will cause same/similar performance - it's a given that the two systems are identical in every other respect |

| 271655 | 2004-09-12 22:31:00 | CLONE, Two items exactly the same, like identical twins . Same cpu, same H/d, side by side H/d S# even . Same brand name box, same mobo, same revision#, only difference between these two to stoping the being 200% the same is the ram . No operating systems will use same linix boot c/d to boot both machines . Same C/D drives IE The machines are Clones . |

| 271656 | 2004-09-12 22:43:00 | it simply comes down to what software is run. th pc133 pc will run the fastest untill you use software that uses more than 128meg of ram. then the pc100 pc will start to be quicker. with linux i suspect the pc100 will be the quicker. if you ran win95 the pc133 will be the quickest. load up an os in both and benchmark em :) |

For example if they were both P3 600MHz with a 100MHz FSB then the PC133 would be running @ PC100 anyway. Thus the system with the extra 32mb of RAM would out preform the other system. |
