RAM pin

[rtyp3]

How do I find out what pin my RAM is? I know it is pc100 SDRAM, but I need to know the pin.

[rtyp3]

I have an Athlon 550, 96mb RAM, if any of that matters.

ANYONE?

Do they even make PC100 Simms(72pin)? I don't think so. I am pretty postitive that it is 168 pin like warthog said.

Simm = 72 pin

Dimm = 168 pin almost all motherboards made within the last two or so years have had Dimm slots on them. Your computer is an Athlon and therefor it was made within the last year so it must have several Dimm slots in it.
