Mand

Your motherboard accepts 133mhz SDRAM.. that is the way things are.. Everest
Home told you what it is.. Crucial.com told you what it is.. others have
told you what it is..

Question.. why do you need to know?

Take a breath. Your text is too hard to read, so I won't!

Re-type your question using standard first letter of sentence
capitalization. A period and a space after the period (at the end of a
sentence) would be nice too.

The icing on the cake would be paragraphs (you know, a space between
separate trains of thought).

You already have 128mb of pc 133mhz sdram dimm
You can buy this ram as 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 mb
even though Pc world or whoever only has 128 and 256mb

you have 2 slots for ram (one used)

You have a max ram of 1 gig.
Therefore, you can purchase up to TWO 512mb pc133mhz ram
What ever size you buy wouldn't be bad idea to buy in pairs of same size

BUT you already ONE 128mb pc133, you have the option of:
purchasing (since PC world only has 128 and 512 mb)
you can purchase one 128 or 512 mb
Total Ram could:
One 128 + 256 = 384 mb
One 128 + 512 = 640 mb

OR get rid of the 128 and you can mix and match 256 and 512
or buy two 256 (total 512) OR two 512 (total 1gig)

Have I confused you? I hope not. Because this is as good as it gets!!

Good Luck.
