133 MHz Memory Type?

[perwil]

Hi all!
I have a computer from 2001 with a cheap AMD compatible motherboard
and an AMD 1400 MHz processor. The memory type I have is 256 MB at
133MHz.

My question is: I want to expand my memory - do I have to buy the
older more expensive 133 MHz type or can I buy some modern kind that
is cheaper?

Thanks!

You need the older PC133 SDRAM stuff. The newer DDR stuff won't even fit
in the same memory slots (fortunately).

Try eBay. When I went to a DDR motherboard I sold my 512MB PC133 for $35.

You have to buy the older kind.
