This is the only thing that I see that may help with the frequency of the memory: *-cpu description: CPU product: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+ vendor: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] physical id: 4 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED] version: 6.10.0 slot: Socket A size: 1833MHz capacity: 3GHz width: 32 bits *clock: 166MHz* capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow ts Since it says the clock is 166MHz then the memory should be the same. Only thing is, my memory has to be 333MHz not 166Mhz. Basically, depending on a few things, that info may not help much unless he has a idea what it takes. My advice, find out the model of the computer if it is factory built or the model of the mobo if it is custom built, then go to crucial.com or something and look it up that way. Once you get the info, you can look it up at whatever site you choose. Also, if you have windoze on the rig, some memory sites can look it up for you too. I'm not sure how they do that tho. I guess they can scan something on the mobo. I dunno. No windoze here. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
