Will pc 133 memory work with a compaq 7940?

Hi all,

I got a pretty much stock 7940 and i want to up grade the memory on
it. It has 128 megs now i want to bring it up to 256 total but i am
having a hard time finding pc100 speed and i was wondering if pc133
will work, i may just get one stick of pc133 256 meg and remove the
pc100 128 meg stick. Also, since the 7940 is an atx standard ( i
looked ) if i decide to change the mother board and proscessor will
the restore cds still work?

your thoughts?

thanks

First check the Compaq FAQ swapping motherboards. If that doesn't deter
you, the fact that your restore CDs won't work on a non-Compaq motherboard
should. As for RAM, try:

They have PC100 SyncDRAM for your specific model Presario. Many Compaqs that
came with PC100 memory get flaky when you try PC133. On others it runs fine.
