The 256 mb card fitted is a CL2 type. *If I put the same RAM size but
CL3, will the diference be negligible? *I understand this will make
the CL2 work at CL3 speed, but is the difference between this and

Thanks.

(I have a 64mb card in a drawer as salvage, but it is different speed,
100mhz - would that spoil things if I added it too? *Or that and a
single 128 mb card?)

It is slightly cheaper to buy two 128 mb cards than one 256 - is there
any reason why a single 256 mb card would be better? *I will probably
buy a second hand card for £6 from an ebay seller with 100% rep - I'm

You don't specify the exact machine type, but normally yes, you can
add 256MB more.
100 or 133mhz: you might need to adjust in the BIOS/setup disk or it
might do that itself- but the speed difference is neglectable.
Important: you need Compaq-compatible modules. Compaqs are known picky
about that. Buy something that comes out of a Compaq, or ask for the
exact type number and search the datasheet.- Hide quoted text -
