Help finding memory that is compatible with a Athlon-K6 Processor

[computer_tech]

I need to add memory to this womens computer. She has a Athlon-K6 processor. Can anyone put the pieces together for me? Thanks

Well it depends on the mobo. Proabably it would be SDRAM.

Thanks...

It has three slots for RAM. So how about 2 128MB of SDRAM? This should get her computer running much faster.

By the way... would it also be PC-133? Possibly?

WOw, a K6!!! The RAM used is probably still using conventional SDRAM like Alvino said. PC-133 is I remember correctly should be ok. Even if the board supports PC-100, the 133 is backward compatible. It will just step down to the 100 level.

Is there any way you can get some info. on the motherboard at use? SOmething that old sometime have compatibility issues.

Thanks for your time! I'll prolly go with some Kingston 128MB PC-133. Not sure is i should add one or two... but anything is better than 60!

Go their. Select the manufacturer of your computer, gateway, dell, and so on. Then hit next. Then go under, Not sure what you need? And click the link that says cruciail system scanner. It will scan your computer and find out what model it is, and give you a list of what kinds of memory is compatible with your computer. Great for finding out what memory you need.
