| 15841 | 2001-07-20 09:57:00 | My computer currently has 64MB 100mhz SDRAM. Can I install another chip of 128MB 133mhz SDRAM. Are these two compatible |

As for the sizes, it depends on the motherboard, as some need all the sticks the be the same size, so check your motherboard manual. If I recall if it can work, it will need the bigger stick in the first slot. If it doesn't you could get two 64mb sticks, but it is more expensive. |

Modern Comps you can go willy nilly regarding Meg size. As for speed, the 133MHz RAM will run at 100MHz in cahoots with the old stick you allready have. Ken. |
