Dell WebPC RAM

Lanther · 07-01-2005, 03:00 PM

Will PC133 RAM work in a Dell WebPC? The core voltage, latency, etc are all the same only think different is 133 mhz vs 100mhz.

I had never seen one of those things O.o Well, it should work just fine, only at PC100 speeds.

The only thing you'll be doing by buying the PC133 RAM would be future proofing it very slightly. Not really worth it, if its cheaper to get PC100 then get that.

actually the pc133 is cheaper. The Other One these things suck I'm upgrading the ram on it for a guy up at work they are ultra small but only have 500 mhz celeron can only hold up to 256 mb ram have no upgrade options really. He is only going to be using it for word processing and some web surfing and email.

Ouch, 500Mhz is abit dated now. Is there much point in upgrading, might aswell just get a new system.

Yeah thats what I told him but he wanted me to make it a bit faster so i'm taking the *shudders* 64 megs of RAM its got in it out and puttin 2 128 sticks in.

You sure it wouldnt be more beneficial on a system that old to buy one stick of 256Mb.

According to Dells site the BIOS won't see anything larger than 128 on that system
