Hi Everyone,
I have a Compaq Presario PC Model 5BW285. Pentium III 866 Mhz with 128
MB RAM
I have noticed that the PC is very sluggish with lots of disk
thrashing. Upon checking the available RAM using the MS System
Information utility, there is very little left! 384 KB out of 128 MB.
The motherboard has a "double sided" 128 MB PC-100 SDRAM module. What
are my options to upgrade the RAM? Can I add a 128 or 256 MB PC-133
SDRAM module to the 2nd slot? or should I replace the old module with
a 512 MB PC-133 module?
Is it OK to mix PC-100 and PC-133 together? Can I use "single sided"
SDRAM in the Compaq motherboard?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
