Someone want to help me once more? :)

I installed 256mg DDR ram but I can't remember if it was pc-2100 or pc-3200 or whatever....

How can I find out? I don't remember it being marked on the Ram itself.

Look for any combination of numbers and letters on the stick, then hit google. I've had mucho success that way.

 

[Geekling]

what would happen if I added another stick that isn't the same #?

It will explode.

Heh, after the joke you're supposed to put the real answer. It will actually implode causing your cd/dvd-roms to suck inside your case. OR it will be fine as long as you make sure both sticks conform to the right specification. As in your motherboard supports PC2100 RAM, make sure both sticks are PC2100 or more. PC2700, PC3200, etc are all backwards compatible and will run at the slower speeds automatically. Sometimes you will get a stick that doesnt play nice backwards, but doesn't happen too often.

Also, you could use the RAM analyser command line tool that comes with SiSoft Sandra.

CPU-Z might have something that checks for RAM speeds, and I am sure that Aida 32 does it, though its unsupported

I kept the .zip of Aida 32 if anybody wants it, its a free zip of everybodys fav program, whos in? AIM: Grim Incarnation
