Combining differnet Mhz ram

[Kenny Graves]

Hello I have 2 128 Meg PC-100 sticks and one 128 Meg pc 133 stick. Is it ok to combine them together on a board? I will be using the asus K7M board with a 750 Processer. Or shpuld I just use the one pc133 or just the teo pc100 sticks.

Thanks in advance

Kenny

if it works like they say all the memory should be lowered by the slowest stick

I've got to agree with BC - the 133 should perform just fine, but at 100 speed.

What operating system are you using?? - If you are using win95 or 98, that much RAM is a total waste - 95 tops out performance-wise after 64MB, 98 tops out at about 128MB

NT would use all of it and ask for more.

Also most RAM actually does work on Athlons. I've tested 3 diffn't brands and a few generics on my K7M, they work fine. Right now I've got 256 MB of Viking CAS2 RAM...

According to the K7M's manual any 3.3V unbuffered DIMM works.

Any you can use them, they will all run, as has been said, at 100 MHz.

i don't think it would hurt to try, but i wouldn't bet on any memory working with the athalon unless it has been athalon tested. if you run into problems, try to use just the 133 stick. even that one might have problems, though...
