I had preinstalled 128 MB PC100 RAM.I put in a PC 133 MHZ mem.It sees 256 MB is it ok to combine pc100 and pc133?I bought this computer secound handed it had 320 MB i gave one mem stick to my cousin so he could have 128 instead of 64 MB.
It can not and will not harm your motherboard. If you look on the package of PC 133 memory at say Best Buy it will state right on it PC 66/100/133. So you have nothing to fear about mixing and matching them.
Now back in the good ole days of 72Pin SIMM's things where different.
