my backround:
-First off i blow when it comes to english, i can't spell to save my life
-My mom bought my me a computer from dell abount 4 years ago
-It had a pentium 4, geforce 3, all that fun stuff
-But a whopping 128 ram.
-There in lies my problem
A friend gave me an extra stick of ram that he had another 128 stick of ram.
Then geting rid of an old computer of ours i found a 256 stick of ram. So i pluged it in to see if it would work. Nope So i put it back in and continued with 256 ram. The only differnce between the two sticks of ram is the one that works says "133MHz CL3" and the one that doesnt says "100MHz CL2". Looking on newegg.com one of the catigories of ram is Cas Latency, is this "CL" and is that why it wont work? Or is it the "133MHz" and "100MHz" differnce? Or is it the two?
It would be nice to know why this old stick wont work, but if some one could just tell me what sticks would work that would be fine too.
Thanks ahead of time.
