>> Do I need to use PC 100 ram ? and what is the difference ? No, you don't have to, and in fact for a 266 or 300 it's a waste of money (see below). Difference is PC 100 ram operates at 100 mhz vs 66 mhz. 100 ram will operate at the slower speed, but so will cheaper ram. >>Thought that I had read that you have to use the PC 100 if your CPU is 350 or higher but not sure. Close. You can't use PC 100 at 100 mhz unless you have a 350 or higher PII. You can operate these cpus with slower ram, though. With corresponding loss of memory performance. As for the Kingston ram, they are one of the top-line memory makers by reputation. Perhaps others have more detailed comments. I happen to have Kingston (from CompUSA in fact) in my workstation and have never had a blip, but as everyone knows here, my stuff borders on the dinosaur age <g>. I refuse to say which side of the border. Spots
