I believe that it is past time for a newer machine!!
I can't believe that XP even run on this?

Hello,

Big question:
I've got a pc Pentium 1 MMX 166Mhz.
On the motherboard there are 4 EDO ram slots and 2 SDRam
slots.
I want to get as much memory as possible.
When I put a new 256 MB SDRAM in it (PC133), the Bios
and Win XP only sees
64Mb
When I put a 64Mb SDRAM in it (PC100), the Bios and Win
XP only sees 16Mb.
So, only one fourth of the mem chips.

I wondered why?
What sort of SDRam should I get (I guess older types) to
perform best with
this sort of motherboard?
I could place 2 SDram modules of 256, so I would have
128Mb ram total.
Would this be the best solution?
The type of motherboard is unknown (I don't find any
name on it).

Can I combine SDRam with the old EDO ram, or is it
better to leave the EDO
slots empty? (I did try this, and it worked, both were
seen, but after a
while, I got a mem conflict once (given by WinXP).

I have put in a fast 6GB harddisk, and XP works fine,
but it writes to much
to the Harddisk, with only 64Mb of Ram, so at least I
would like to get
128Mb.
What would be the result of a 128Mb module? (I don't
have one now to test)

Enyone has experiance with this matter?
All comments are welcome!

greatings,
Pascal.

It runs very well on it!

The most important thing on a (older) PC is 'fast harddisk' and 'enough
memory' !!

Really!

Since you are an expert, you should know about AIDA32 and
the Bel Arc Advisor, so you should know all about the
hardware on your old clone.

So, all experts (witch I'm not) know everything?
But thanks anyway, I will try that Bel Arc Advisor.
My parents will be glad if the "old pc" works fine.
Why should we put all old pc's in the junk container? If someone's happy
with the thing?
