Another RAM question

I've got a machine running a stick of Kingston 128MB, 266MHz, DDR
PC2100 DIMM. I have a stick of unknown origin that has a sticker on it
that says it is PC100 64MB made in USA 1999. Will this stick mix with
the Kingston stick or should I just give in and buy another stick of
the Kingston??

This is for the folks machine and they don't need a whole lot of RAM,
but thought since I had this one laying around that I would stuff it
into their 'puter and put it to some use.

Thanks!
 
pc 100 would be sdram i believe ddr vs sdram most mb's wont allow
the mix
 
The pc100 ram is indeed sdram, and you can't mix it with ddr ram.
 
The two sticks of RAM that you have are incompatible; they have different
number of pins. You have to buy a DDR PC2100 stick of RAM for your
computer. The PC 100 is worthless.
 
Your unknown stick is an SDRAM chip. It won't even fit a DDR slot, and if
your motherboard happens to have both SDRAM and DDR slots, the DDR and SDRAM
chips cannot be used at the same time..
