Your RAM should be matched.

ya i dont have the two 128 mb chips of matching speed one is 133 and the
other is 100 mhz. but this problem wwas before installing this new
chip.......................so at that time i had 128 mb pc 100 ram and it
workd fine later it started this trouble probably after instlaling teh
uptadtes or microsoft bootvis...........but uninstalled both still have the
same problem

i have mcafee 8 and pc cillin 2004 both updates just a fraction of a second
before each and every file scanned.........

no spyware using anti spyware also

so far the ram combination of 100 and 133 is working fine without any system
unstabiliy as i was told by many geeks

Checking for spyware would be a good idea if you haven't already done so -
run both Ad-aware and Spybot. If that doesn't help,
I would suggest using msconfig with selective startup to narrow whether a
particular program or combination is involved. In general, it's not a good
idea to run multiple antivirus programs, and that could be at issue. The
memory is not a problem. PC133 generally works fine with PC100 (except for
newer double density modules in older PC's but they won't be recognized at
all).
