Mix RAM

ChahSiuBow · 10-20-2000, 10:04 PM

I have one 128MB RAM chip, PC 133.....I am interested in buying more RAM....will there be any problems or conflicts if I buy RAM from another manufacturer at PC 133 speed? Also, how can I check what brand or type my RAM is? Is it listed under "device manager"? (P.S. I'm running windows 2000)

Most ram runs with no problems with another manufacturers ram. Every now and then a stick of ram doesn't like another manufacturers stick of ram.

Right now I have 384MB (3x128MB) in my machine from two different manufacturers.

"Is it listed under "device manager"? (P.S. I'm running windows 2000)" No its not listed under device manager. SiSoft Sandra Standard can do it for you:
