I just bought a new MB and AMD +1800
The MB came with 4 total Dim slots, 2 for PC2100, and 2 for PC133.
I bought 1 stick of PC2100 (stupidly, without researching) and put this together with the MB and proc.
First boot no video but the Optical Mouse lit up...
I moved the PC2100 to slot 2
Second boot got video, memory registered, but couldn't install and OS because an error always occured.
Took out the PC2100 memory added my old PC100 memory to the other slots
Works fine... other that being clocked alot lower the pc is totally funcional.
QUESTION: Are PC2100 mem sticks like old sims? Do I need two like sticks to be operational...? If not what might be my problem?
