Re: Replacing RAM: PC100 vs PC133
From: John P. Roberts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Replacing RAM: PC100 vs PC133 Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2005 20:49:23 -0800 I have a PB G4 400 MHz (Titanium Mercury) and want to upgrade my RAM. I currently have one 256 and one 128 Mb SIMM for a total of 384 Mb. Both SIMMs are PC100, whatever that means. I was thinking of replacing the 128 Mb with a 512, to yield 768 Mb. I have two questions: Can I just swap the 512 into the 128's (bottom) slot, or does the 512 need to go in the top slot and the old 256 into the bottom? Can I have one PC133 SIMM and one PC100, or do they both need to be the same? You can mix them. The TiBook can use a high-profile RAM stick in the top slot, the bottom has to be the low-profile type. --- JSH TiBook Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.

I'm just not sure that the Titanium uses low profile SODIMMs. I believe that you can mix PC133 and PC100 together. That number refers to the memory speed, the larger the number, the faster the memory chip works. However, when you put a faster chip into a computer with a slower memory bus, then the memory downgrades its speed to match the computer speed. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] fiber-seeking backhoe: [common among backbone ISP personnel] Any of a genus of large, disruptive machines which routinely cut critical backbone links, creating Internet outages and packet over air problems. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
