That's easy cause sdram only comes in 66, 100, or 133 mhz bus speeds. Think of bus as the roadway (speed=the speed limit) on which your data/info travels. And all are backward (downward?) capable. You could get 133 and it would function at the mainboard's/cpu's bus speed. Used to there was a price difference that would help make your decision, but now all sdram is relatively inexpensive. Go to http://www.crucial.com and they have most systems or motherboards crossreferenced where you can easily find the kind that would work best and theirs is one of the more respected products. But basically, it's almost interchangeable. -s On Friday 25 May 2001 04:12 am, you wrote: > Dear friends: > > I would like to add extra memory to my system, and I have one last slot > left.
