Hi just picked one of these up.
Have both CD-ROM and floppy and have installed XP Pro.
Got a Belkin card working and as you can see I've got it online

Been doing lots of reading on which RAM I can use as it's only got 128Mb RAM. I guess that's 32+32+64. And I'd like to upgrade to 32+128+128.

Seems that I should NOT use PC 133, but some have said this is OK.
Seems that I should NOT use anything but CL2, but some have said this is OK.
Seems I should use low density RAM but am struggling to find out how I can tell on ebay which is high and which is low - if I email a buyer on ebay how can I get them to check?

Lots of questions sorry.

Great site BTW.

Actually, you can add 32+256+256 for a total of 544mb ram.

The easiest way to tell on the 256mb sticks, is 16 black chips..eight on each side. 128mb sticks would have 8 chips, 4 on each side (ie. 1/2 of the 256mb stick).

The PC133 ram really depends on the brand. Crucial seems to work the best...

and do I not need to worry about the CL rating ?

cheers.

Seen some CT32M64S4W8E.16FG on ebay..

anyone know if this is compatible...

cheers.

For simplicity, just look for "33L3069" or "33L3070" on eBay. They are guaranteed to be compatible. Remember to check the "Search title and description" option.
