What's your make and number of motherboard.

Check the makers site or the box/manual for these stats.

It looks like you could stick in PC100 and be safe, but it might support PC133.

Yea, they did really pack those banners in there!

Hi BmxFace,
The manual/bios page is at http://www.dtk.com.tw/download/manual/80ie0m.html from DTK. There are five versions of your motherboard. The latest one likes PC100 with 4 sticks of 256MB memory. I agree with dragon guy, you could try some 133Mhz, but it will only run at 100Mhz as far as I can tell (but it will run more stable, as 133 has better specs.). The memory has to have a SPD chip on it. Most all memory sticks have those now, it's a little chip near the end of the memory stick (you won't be able to see it until you open the plastic case). In any case, Circuit City has some cheap memory sticks on sale/rebate, and you can return them if they don't work, I believe they are Centon, or Kinston. That web page also has links to BIOS updates, hint hint.
Have fun!!!

There are tools available on linux for benchmarking if that's what you are interested in?
