Yersinia,
You're not alone. I'm putting off upgrading my ram to
save money for a new machine.
Meanwhile, I've got a mixed set that'll probably be
frowned upon.
128 MB PC100-222
512 MB PC133-333
64 MB PC100-322
Doesn't that lineup look ugly? Anyways, I've had no
problems so far. No corruptions at all. No lockups.
Nothing.
