    i have a stick of PC100 64MB SDRAM and a stick of PC133 128MB SDRAM. and my question is could i put these two sticks of ram in my old hp computer. im not shure if the 128 is compatable, if it is not could it damage my system?

    ok, you need to look in the mother bord manaul to see if its compatible but most likey you cant use both of them at the same time. It most likly will damage your computer, unless it says you can in the manual

    OK, to start off, my specialty is xbox stuff soo i could be wrong.

    Its not likely that youll be able to use them both on the same maching.

    If you know the make of the board you could go to their website for more info.

    try the 128meg by itself to see if computer posts correctly & loads windows. if all ok than put the 64meg in.

    but the 128 came with an e machine so if i tryed to use it would it damage the system. if i could try just using the 128 with out screwing up something that would be great. but im not shure if its compatable.

    the 128 will either post or not post without damaging the computer

    just won't work! 9 out of 10 that 128 will work on your system.
