RAM Recommendations

Ok, I have two 64MB PC133 stix and a 64MB PC100 stick.

My question is simple: What's the best RAM I can stuff into a PC133 slot?

WAAGH!

When i saaid 'PC133 Slot' I meant "Slot-that-holds-a-PC133-Stick". I know there's better RAM than PC133 that still fits into a 'PC133' slot. I wanna know what options I have, and the Oracle of Google isn't helping much...

The best you're getting nowadays in an SDRAM slot is ... PC133. There are a few companies who still sell higher-qualiy SDRAM (Mushkin, for example), but you aren't getting the bleeding-edge exotic stuff anymore, there's not enough demand for it.

Thanks.

Well, y'all pretty much have me convinced to just bite the bullet and get me a completely new system.

Or enough parts to DIY one up.

I know some companies did make PC150 a few years back, but its a rare find and would be expensive compared to DDR. It was made mainly for the overclocker crowd.

Einy, you can only put 66 - 150MHz SDRAM in that computer. Thats it. Anything else will require a new motherboard.

Mushkin, IIRC, made PC150 SDRAM, but they stopped. They still have their high-grade PC133, though.
