Old P4 computer advice: Have 256MB ram 133MHz, should i add nother 128mb but PC100 ram?? or leave it?

Yes I want more ram, but since my other stick of ram is 256mb, 133Mhz, should i add a stick but its slower speed??Old P4 computer advice: Have 256MB ram 133MHz, should i add nother 128mb but PC100 ram?? or leave it?
it's usually good practice to add the same amount of ram in each port. so you should look for more 256mb 133 ram to match what you have. try tigerdirect.com or newegg.com for starters.Old P4 computer advice: Have 256MB ram 133MHz, should i add nother 128mb but PC100 ram?? or leave it?
You will slow the faster ram down to the speed of the lower ram. You'll drop from 133 Mhz to 100 Mhz. Try it with just the 133 Mhz first and then try it again with the 100 Mhz as well as the 133. If you don't see any difference in performance, than you will know its worth keeping them both in there at the same time. If not, remove the 100 Mhz stick.





I bet its really expensive trying to buy this old SD RAM these days...I don't know if anyone is even making that kind of ram any longer (we are talking, like 1998 level technology).
512 MB to 1 GB of RAM is good for P4 at 1.3Mhz, why don't you get a kit from http://crucial.com. I have a P4 Northwood at 2.6 Ghz, and I got a 2GB kit from them for a very good price.
