I am wanting to upgrade my memory and I am unable to locate the memory bus
speed of my system. I have an x86 Family 6 Model 6 Stepping 5 ~534 MHz
processor. I need either 66 Mhz or 100 Mhz and I'm unsure of what mine is. I
also would like to know the clock rate. Any help would be appreciated!!!
It is absolutely essential that any new RAM module(s) be fully
compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other RAM module(s)
already in the system. Additionally, there are sometimes jumper
switches on older motherboards that need to be reset for new RAM
configurations. Consult your motherboard's manual or the
manufacturer's web site for specific instructions and compatibility
requirements.
If you cannot lay your hands upon the computer's manual and the
manufacturer doesn't provide a support web site, you can use these
utilities to help determine the correct type of RAM needed:

Also, Crucial Memory's web site (

to help to find the right RAM for your specific make and model
computer and/or motherboard.
