Mixing PC Memory

[Warrior]

Can you? And will the operating system have perforance for the faster stick... or do they all have to be the same speed?

some will mix i think 100 and 133 will but it will only run as fast as your slowest dimm

Thanks - thats what I figured. Is there somewhere in Windows XP, Norton System Works, BIOS or any other place that displays the memory speeds the system will support?

the bios might, other then that your gonna have to look at the mother board manual or if you know the make and model of the mother board you can look it up online to see that memory it takes

It was my first PC - Mac up until then. I bought a new 2.66 GHz Pentium 4 from someone... got no manuals. I am planning on some upgrades for it but want to wait on the motherboard until more info on the new DDR2 memory slots and 64bit CPU's is available this summer. So I just want to max out the memory capabilities and change the HD to a Raptor 10,000 until then.

I'll check the BIOS...

Looks like it could be burried somewhere in the System Info app too...

The Raptor 10,000 is pretty flippin fast, fastest available today - it's either that one, or one of the DiamondMax HD's with the 16MB buffer...
