ACORP m/board and PC-133 memory

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a PII-300 MMX ACORP m/board, that had 64 Mb RAM (PC-100). I recently changed it to 2 x 128 Mb RAM (PC-133). The computer is actually running slower, no real change in performance, often memory is down to less than 10 %.

Some people say you shouldn't use PC-133 RAM in PC-100 bus, is that true ?

Here's some info on the computer:

If it slowed down you probably got junk ram or you BIOS cannot properly address higher-density modules. Neither of these problems have anything to do with whether it's PX100 ro PC133.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Where do I find out what the frequency is ?

That's just my sig. So anyway describe this ram, how many chips are one each module, what brand it is, etc.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
