This is obviously working for you and your board must support it.(Also SIMMs and DIMMs have different socket types). In most cases 133 SDRAM will work on your board but run at the lower speed when added with your 100SDRAM(ie 100Mhz). Some boards don't support higher speed RAM so its best to check your MB manual or ask if you can return purchesed RAM if it does not work with your system.	Guest (0)
