| 461610 | 2006-06-08 08:40:00 | :) I have 2 slots for memory (currently filled by 2 X 128MB). I'd prefer 2 X 256MB at least (1GB total allowed on my machine). I'm trying to buy from online auction but it's likely each stick will be from a different source (there aren't many pairs around). As far as i hear, the more they 'match' the better. If they are both 256MB + SDRAM + PC133... is that enough? Do they also need to be same brand, same age, other things? Hope this makes sense and someone knows the answer, HyperHorse! |

| 461611 | 2006-06-08 08:47:00 | More info. What motherboard? (Though 133 SDRAM suggests older, so unlikely to be critical as to make, but odd things can occur due to timings) |
