Is it hard to get something like this for cheap?:

256 MB - DIMM 168-PIN - SDRAM - 100 MHz - non-ECC

I have an old Dell that could use more RAM, but the prices for this PC-100 RAM are quite excessive. I would love to find two 256MB sticks kicking around somewhere unwanted. It looks like $40 apiece is the going rate for new ones, but I'm happy with old used RAM, if it works.


I have an old mobo in the closet -- it has some RAM chips on it. These say the following:

256M SDRAM DIMM APC7610 PC-133 3

I'm wondering if it is possible that these will work despite the supposed requirement shown above. Maybe P-C133 is faster than PC-100 and they will work. Any idea? If they fit in the slots, can I try them, or is that risking serious damage?

Mike
