PC100 RAM and the PII 266 You do not need PC100 RAM for The PII 266. PC100 RAM is for PII 350/400/450 CPU's. If you ever want to upgrade to the faster CPU's then you should go for the PC100 RAM (maybe). From a cost point of view, by the time you upgrade your CPU, if you do, the PC100 RAM will probably be quite a bit less $'s than it is now. If you opt for the PII 333 you may never find the need to upgrade your CPU. The PII 333 runs cooler than the 266 and 300 MHz CPU's and still does not require PC100 RAM. The PII 266 that is quoted is OEM. I believe warranty policies are different for OEM CPU's. I know they are substantially different for Intel OEM motherboards. The difference in cost is minimal. Expect NT 5.0 sometime in 1999. Zeuspaul
