Asus P5A mobo ram question
Hi,
I need to add some ram to my p5a. Currently it has pc100 in it. Questions: + can I use a pc133 stick without creating a problem? + where can I get a new or used 128 meg stick at the least price? The VIA chipset stuff is cheap but the ALI isn't. Thanks, BC |

PC 133 will work fine, it's just better memory then what you need and will
respond to 133MHz. PC 133 in the Corsair Value Select brand is probably less expensive than PC-100 today (supply and demand pricing issue). Be advised that mixing types can be a problatic...if you do mix, set BIOS to most conservative setting, or better yet rum memtest89 (search Google). If you have 64 meg and say want to add 256Meg, just discard the 64Meg to be on the safe side. 256Megs should be around $57. Try www.spartantech.com I am not afilliated with them, but just started buying all my stuff from them, good price and honest. While you are at it....... an AMD K6/2-500 is only $14....I plan to upgrade my 400Mhz to 500Mhz for 25% increase in speed only $14, not bad "Bill Case" wrote in message ink.net...
