| 13453 | 2001-05-31 23:34:00 | Have jsut upgraded memory and now have 128MB of 133 MHZ plus 64MB and 32MB of lower speed - possibly 66?? As I understand it the WHOLE ram will default to the lower speed - correct? Am i better off to run 128 at 133 or 224 at 66? Also should the SDram setting in bios be - I have the option of 133 or 100 TIA |

| 13455 | 2001-06-01 04:48:00 | Thanks for that Its a 100 FSB on a VIA KT-133 so probably I have 100 MHz memory? The other questions still remain? Also - Do I have to make any changes to the Dip switch settings or does the change to 133 in the BIOS setting suffice?? TIA all |

| 13456 | 2001-06-01 13:14:00 | The BIOS setting is all that's needed to make it run at 133. I suggest you continue running your PC100 memory with the new memory, and keep it at 100Mhz. | Guest (0) | ||
