Hello all, first time post, and this isn't mentioned in the FAQ.
I've got a emachines 533Mhz system, from back in the day. I noticed that I'm only running 96MB (32+64MB) PC100 RAM. My mobo can take up to 256MB.
My question is: from the specs on the emachines website and from crucial, I can't tell if this is low density. I suspect that it is not, How can I tell?. Also... I want to remove what I have and add 256MB RAM to the system, so would 2x128MB Dimms perform better then 1x 256MB Dimm?
How critical is it that I get PC100 RAM that is CL=2 rather then 3? I've been looking on ebay and very very few sellers mention the latency.
Thanks!
