You would be better off purchasing a new machine. Rambus memory
was fussy about what motherboard it would work with.

The answer is he

You have a 400 MHz FSB machine.

I suggest not spending much money on upgrading it. (RAMBUS memory is
obsolete, and can be expensive.)

This says the Dimension 8100 motherboard has an 850 Northbridge.

It seems to be FSB400 according to this.

You can verify the details, by running CPUZ.

Paul, I noticed your answers are always so accurate, and detailed.

I'm curious what kind of business I'd be
suited to. By whatever metrics are available,
I don't fit any slots. A square peg in a world
of round holes.

But, you are extremely helpful in these newsgroups, please keep it up!
(maybe this is your 'square hole')
