Hi my pc uses pc100 ram, i have 2 slots , that occupy 2 sticks of 64mb
totaling 128mb, recently i recieved a 128 mb of ram stick the only
problem
its pc133, the 1st thing i tried is taking out all of the ram i have in my
pc and install only the new pc133 stick, it did not work, second thing i
did
is leave on of the 64mb of ram pc100 in the slot , and in the remaining
slot insert the pc133 ram, did not recognize the pc133, and then i tried a
combination of swiching ram positions. Can some one tell me if this is
even
possible, or should i just sell this pc133 of ram on ebay, thanks in
advance.

Maybe your motherboard doesn't accept PC133? The RAM may work fine, but your
motherboard doesn't support it.

Thats what it sounds like to me.

I think that RAM needs to be inserted in matched pairs. Both slots
need to be the same.

I highly doubt that is the case. Aside from RAMBUS memory, you haven't
needed to fill matching banks since EDO RAM.

And with *some* RAMBUS/RDRAM motherboards, filling both slots may entail a
RIMM in the first slot and a (non-matching) Continuity-RIMM (CRIMM) in the
second - ie only one stick of memory is essential and the CRIMM is basically
a blanking module to terminate the memory bus. An example is the Asus P3C-E.
