659306 2008-04-16 01:16:00 I have a Inspiron 2500 currently running 2x 64Mb PC100.
Spec says it will support up to 512Mb.
Will it run PC133, as PC100 seems to getting hard to get & expensive?

659307 2008-04-16 01:22:00 Probably, though only at PC100 speed. godfather (25)

I was after a yes or no.
I realise it would only run at 100Mhz
Ive been googling it but cant come up with a definate answer.
I just thought someone on here may have tried it.

659309 2008-04-16 02:56:00 We're talking about computers, there can't always be a set yes or no answer.

Chances are it's a yes in this case, however.

Take "maybe" as an answer, and buy the RAM from somewhere that you can return it to if it doesn't work.

Without phsychic abilities we cannot be 100%

659311 2008-04-16 05:48:00 I wasn't planning on mixing Ram.
I was going to replace the 2x 64Mhz chips with 2x 256Mhz.
I was hoping to use PC133 as PC100 Ram is a lot more expensive.
My closest supplier would be over 400K so I like to get things right the first time.
