Question about Memory

[stas5]

Right now i have one stick of Mushkin 128mb PC133 Siemens Infineon. I'm thinking of getting another 128mb stick. So is it better for me to get the same type of memory, or maybe go for a rev2 or even rev3? If i get a faster ram, will it be limited by the other stick, or work on it's default speed.
thanx for your help

You're better off getting the same stick. You'll definitely be limited by the newer Ram. If you hit 150mhz with the Rev.3, there's no way you'll do that with your Infineon Ram, so it will be the limiting factor. If you don't overclock, you should be fine as long as the timings for both sticks are the same.

I have a stick that matches what you have (Mushkin PC133 Infineon) and I am willing to sell it for $70 shipped
