Hello,
Big question:
I've got a pc Pentium 1 MMX 166Mhz.
On the motherboard there are 4 EDO ram slots and 2 SDRam slots.
I want to get as much memory as possible.
When I put a new 256 MB SDRAM in it (PC133), the Bios and Win XP only sees
64Mb
When I put a 64Mb SDRAM in it (PC100), the Bios and Win XP only sees 16Mb.
So, only one fourth of the mem chips.
I wondered why?
What sort of SDRam should I get (I guess older types) to perform best with
this sort of motherboard?
I could place 2 SDram modules of 256, so I would have 128Mb ram total.
Would this be the best solution?
The type of motherboard is unknown (I don't find any name on it).
Can I combine SDRam with the old EDO ram, or is it better to leave the EDO
slots empty? (I did try this, and it worked, both were seen, but after a
while, I got a mem conflict once (given by WinXP).
I have put in a fast 6GB harddisk, and XP works fine, but it writes to much
to the Harddisk, with only 64Mb of Ram, so at least I would like to get
128Mb.
What would be the result of a 128Mb module? (I don't have one now to test)
Enyone has experiance with this matter?
All comments are welcome!
greatings,
Pascal.
