Hi !
I and a friend are going to upgrade a Pentium 3 based machine (733 MHz).
There is a hard disk installed as well as
some memory cards (SIMM-cards). I do still not know how many memory cards,
what specification they do have, the amount of
total installed memory or how many memory card slots that are available.
If helpful, I do myself have 3 memory cards from a Pentium 2 machine (233
MHz). 2 of these cards having different labels, but 128 MB / 100 Mhz.
Also a third card, which may be a 64 MB / 100 MHz card. There is eventually
either lableled on the bottom side or allotted space for for 9 chips on each
card,
but there are 8 physical chips on each of these cards. I think there may be
a question related to parity here.
In addition, 3 memory cards from a MS-6330 Lite ATX VA Mainboard, which
supports AMD (TM) PGA Socket A Duron (TM) / Athlon (TM) processor, these 3
memory cards are all 256 MB / 133 MHz TwinMOS SDR/CL3 cards and may the most
powerful of all of these memory cards to my guess. The processor is 900 MHz
(althouhgh it may have been listed as 950 MHz in the order specification).
There is space for 9 chips, but there are 8 physical chips installed. Also a
parity question in this case as well.
Should I go for the TwinMOS cards in the memory card upgrade ? There are
perhaps 512 MB memory cards available in the shops having 133 Mhz or higher
speeds that are better.
Thanks,
