Thanks for the help.
Hi
you may get more response if you posted in the pc`s and mobiles forum.
if your mobo states that it can support both 100Mhz & 133Mhz memory, i`d
suggest taking a look in your bios or motherboard jumper settings to determine
what it`s current speed is.
133Mhz memory inserted into a mobo running at 100Mhz will work fine albeit at
a slightly slower speed, but 100Mhz memory fitted into a mobo running at 133Mhz
will not work...the usual symptoms will be boot failure and/or lockups.
