pc100 64mb dont work together.

Go to the Crucial website and get some decent memory as well as find the
correct memory for your machine. All you need know is the model of machine
or the motherboard type number.

Hi everyone, my PC has 2 ram slots and have to sticks of pc100 64mb
(generic)(total 128mb), well i decided to buy a used stick of pc100
128mb(kingston) to upgrade to 192mb or ram, what i did is, take out one
of
the 64mb and replace it with the 128mb, after installing it booted fine,
it
read that my pc has 192mb of ram, however after 2 days the icons in my
desktop looked all blurry even sometimes after boot up, the icons
wouldn't
appear just the names appeard, so it was obvious it had something to do
with
the ram i installed.

What i did is take out the 64mb stick , and now i just have the one
stick
of
128mb (kingston) and the icons seem fine no problems so far (installed
like
10 min ago from positing this). My guess is that because the ram sticks
are
from diffrent manufacturers they are bumping heads and the fact that
mixing
speeds is not a good idea , so i guess ill be looking for another pc100
128mb of ram, do you all think its ok if its another brand and not
kingston
(what i have now) or even a generic brand (there a lot cheaper lol). Tia

Ps, I do have another stick of pc133 128mb of ram, but thats sort of a
lost
cause, i tried to make it work by puting it in my pc by itself ,
everyway
you can think of, and it did not even boot, just showed a black screen.
