I dont know where to find that (Im only 12, my big bro built the computer a couple of years ago
 ). All i know is that my processor is intel and that there is a little square near the pci slots that says "Intel PCIset then a whole bunch of letters and numbers." Where would i find the brand and stuff> thanx.

With that processor, all you *need* is PC66. It's impossible to tell what you *have* now, but I'm betting it's either PC66 or PC100. A "ZX" board can handle PC100 for sure and *probably* can handle PC133 but no guarantee.
To pin down what motherboard you exactly have, next time you cold boot the computer, pause the very first screen and look in the lower left corner for the exact bios string. It should start with "2A69K", please post the whole string. |
