Random RAM! It's like an expensive lucky dip!

Post by **glossy** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 9:40 pm

I found some Random RAM! kicking around in my bedroom, so i plugged it into this computer (since i only have 256MB). On the two existing sticks in my computer it says PC133, but on the Random RAM! it says something about PC100(-222-650).

my question is, will having both of these running at the same time reduce performance or create problems, other than something i recalled about RAM running at the lowest frequency -- is this 100 in this case, or something wierd like 66 ?

Thanks guys

edit: i should also note i've run memtest86 on the three with no errors found.

If PC100 is the slowest RAM in the system, that's what it will run at.

So, will I notice any real difference during normal use or gaming (loading times and in-game)? (stepping down from 133 to 100)

I wouldn't think a great deal, it's all pretty slow
