What ram too get?

[JAW]

Micro-Star MS-6330 Mainboard with a AthlonXP 1700+

Currently has one stick of 256meg 133mhz 2-3-3

Sisoft reports 3 slots, one occupied, but max of 512?

These are work computers, computers were already here when I started so I am using sisoft too figure out what all is inside them. Some of the employees are wanting faster systems, boss said too just get them more memory so I guess i'll get some 256meg sticks off of the egg and pop them in. Any recommendations on cheap/reliable ram?

Hard to beat Crucial if you want absolute stability.

 

[JAW]

my main question is, do these mobos use sdram PC-133 or ddr pc2100 (133)

 

[Main Target]

to be sure just open one up

What do the systems consist of? Mobo, Processor etc.
