Yes, it is possible (on some PCs) to have both types of memory installed. If it works then all fine and dandy, but the PC133 memory will run at 100Mhz same as your old card. The faster card will always switch down to the speed of the lower spec card to avoid memory synchronisation errors. If it starts to beep relentlessly after installing, then you have a memory mismatch.
Best policy is to ensure all memory card speeds match up.
Hope this helps :)

No it would not work, thatt's why theres a Mhz declared there, 133Mhz will only work on the same speed level of higher level also. It's better for you to trade in you 128MB 133Mhz to a 128MB 100Mhz. since the limitation of your board is until 100mhz only. don't try to push your board to a higher mhz, it may only collapse.

If your computer beeped when you put it in, then your BIOS will not accept the combination, period.
The speed of memory does not mean that it runs at that speed, it means that this is highest speed it is designed to run at.
Some motherboards will allow you to mix 100 and 133. It may boot with a message saying that the memory did not match SPD, but it will run the memory at 100MHZ.

It will depend if the system uses high or low density RAM and if the 133Mhz is compatable.
You cannot use 133Mhz high density RAM in a computer requiring low density memory.
You can use low density 133Mhz memory in a 100Mhz low density system however.

particular - locate out the configuration of your modern ram - DDR, PC3200, etc - and the value that your gadget desires. you will come across replace memory at almost any laptop hardware shop. now and back, somewhat of having to interchange the RAM chip, you may basically upload on, utilising added memory chips. meaning you will no longer ought to throw the previous chip away. basically basically be useful you're careful whilst beginning the case and dealing with the chip - static electrical energy is a killer to the innards of desktops.

Depends on speed of the bus on your motherboard.
If its 133 FSB then yes, it will work with 100Mhz in slot or bank0 and 133Mhz in slot or bank1. If its 100 FSB then no...

IF it's the right type of RAM then yes, you can have different speeds of it, but all DIMMs will run at the lowest speed, so there's not much point.
Go to http://www.crucial.com/uk to find out exactly what RAM you need, it's one of the the cheapest RAM suppliers that's guaranteed to work and is very high quality.

most motherboard would accept both pc133 and pc100 sd ram at the same time, and will work fine at the moment and later on one of your memory card will develop damage and will not work anymore and another effect of this is that this may create damage to your memory slots in your motherboard and wont detect the right size of your installed memory.... better not do it and look for another pc133 or pc100 sd ram to upgrade the memory.....take it from me man...

Depends on how many slots you have.
You may not have the right type of memory.
And yes, it may not be installed propery.

ya sure you can but do it carefully and with any expert's guidance it depends on the memory of ur hardisk that how much ram you should add eg-128MB RAM-40GB 256MB RAM-40GB etc
