Yeah, ours came with 64mb...sadly, we haven't gotten an upgrade of it yet, but it'll be zooming in about 3 days.

No such thing.

There's PC66, PC100, PC133, SDRAM, RDRAM, DDR SDRAM, PC2100, PC 2700, CAS 2, CAS 3, CAS 2.5, ECC, Parity, EDO...

You need to know exactly what type you need, or odds are it won't work.


more like
SDRAM:
-----PC66
-----PC100
-----PC133

DDR:
-----PC2100
-----PC2700

and the rest aren't going to be in faerie's computer
50 bucks says its pc133 sdram


:o Oh but CAS is for all DRAM based memory. Stands for Column Access Strobe. States how many cpu cycles it takes before it can access a column of memory on the chip. Blah something like that >_>. Lower is better.

ECC = Error Correcting Code. Which COULD possibley be on a older computer. Doubtful in a brand name one tho.

Parity = A type of error detection. Not as good as ECC. Was used in the olden days mainly. May still show up. Doubtful in most memory now adays.

EDO = Edhanced Data Out. It was a way to boost the speed in the pre-SDRAM days. Before SDRAM became popular and cheap, EDO ruled the RAM ways ;o
