Ok folks, here's one for you...

How do you tell just by looking at a dimm if it's pc100 or pc133?

Cheers, Dave.

 

I have some of each (in different machines).
Basically, within the label there should be a sequence of numbers containing either "100" or "133".
However, that assumes yours has some sort of label on it. I did read somewhere that you can identify the difference from the chip codes, but that's beyond me, I'm afraid.

 

Most manufactuers put part codes on which you might be able to cross reference. The place I works sells Kingston and Techworks which are all part coded so you can check the specs a t a later date without too much trouble.

The red one is 133 cos everyone knows red ones are faster

 

And there I was thinking my reply was useless!

 

The best way to tell IMHO is install the DIM and install a software product like SiSoft's Sandra. That way it will tell you exactly what the chipset is, it's PC rating and CL rating.
