| I need help with memory, please! I want to upgrade the memory in my DD's computer. She presently has 64MB PC100 SDRAM (removable). I found this info, but am not sure if I'm reading it right: ------------------------------- Standard Memory This is the amount of memory included with the system (as stated by the manufacturer). It does not take into account upgrades installed at the time of purchase or later. "Removable memory" indicates that one or more of the memory slots are occupied with the standard memory, while "non-removable" indicates the standard memory does not occupy any of the memory slots, but is permanently affixed to the motherboard. Slots This is the total number of memory upgrade slots (sockets) followed by their configuration. Banks are the way a system addresses memory. A bank must be completely filled with memory modules of the same size and type in order for the system to recognize and address the memory. i.e. : 3 (3 banks of 1) This indicates that there are 3 memory slots. These are divided into 3 banks, and each bank consists of one memory slot. So you can add memory one piece at a time for the system to use. ------------------------------- So, can I use this in her computer? Kingston DC133MHz 128MB Memory Upgrade I know it isn't the same type, but it said I could use 133MHz in her system, though it wouldn't recognize the faster speed. My other question is, this is DC133MHz. Is that different than PC133MHz?

| Hi Pip-I'd be more then happy to try and help you. I've installed memory in many computers. No standard answer regarding memory, but in general most PC133 can be used in PC100 system. Basically this number represents Front Side Bus<think that's the word>. Just make sure to turn power off<duh> and unplug. Make sure to properly ground yourself-i.e. touch metal or you can wear one of those wrist grounders. Go ahead and put the larger memory in the first bank and the smaller memory module in the second bank. No need to get nervous about doing this stuff. Once you have installed the memory module-plug back in and power up. If it beeps it usually means the memory isn't seated properly or the memory is not compatiable. Sometimes these Manufacturers-Packard Bell etc. require specific memory modules, but since you have the module already it's worth a try. Should have 192mb-you can check this in system resources If memory serves correct. Hope this helps you, and if you have any questions will be glad to help. Happy VD Kylee !

| Took a look over at IBM Site-Should be fine !! You might want to consider upgrading the Video Card at some point if you are running the original. Maybe a 32mb or 64mb AGP. I think the original is a 4mb?? Memory · 512-KB Pipeline Burst Static RAM (PBSRAM). Fixed onboard for 2153/K6, built-in Pentium II processor for 2139, 128-KB PBSRAM built-in Celeron processor for 2153/Celeron. · Onboard fixed video Synchronize Graphics RAM (SGRAM), 2- or 4-MB for Machine Type 2153, 4-MB for 2139. · 168-pin synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM), dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. - 2 memory sockets for Machine Type 2153, 3 sockets for 2139. - 16-MB, 32-MB, 64-MB or 128-MB DIMM. - PC-100(64-bit, non ECC, 100MHz, 3.3volt) DIMMs with gold contacts.(PC-66 for 2153/Celeron) - For 2153, maximum memory is 256MB, for 2139 maximum memory is 384MB.

| Jeff and Naomi......  Mr. B ~ THANKS! You've been a GREAT help! She has a Pentium II processor, and yes, she probably has a 4MB video card. Her computer is running EXTREMELY slowly, and is driving her NUTS. I did check it for viruses, and she had 71 infected files. Do you think she had upgraded her virus definitions??? Nooooooooooo, not since January 2002!!! Geesh. So, I cleaned that up, which helped, but it's still pretty slow, and at 64MB, you can understand. Actually, I'm taking an online computer class at B&N right now, called "Be Your Own PC Doctor." I've only gotten through Lesson 1, though, so I need to get cracking! I've done some 'inside' work in computers, but I've never messed with memory. Only installed CDROM drives and burners. So you think the DC133MHz is the same as PC133MHz?
