ok... i knew i was running a slow stick of memory in my server, but what you recommend me doing..

Server: 1.1 GHz Intel Celeron @ 100 MHz FSB.

Stick 1: SDRAM 128MB PC133
Stick 2: SDRAM 64MB PC100

I can:
a. remove stick 2 and just run off the 128MB.
b. leave stick 2 in there gaining the extra 64MB but may cause memory problems (random reboots etc...)

I can't buy any more RAM since theres no places around where i live that sell computer parts for about 50+ miles. and can't buy over the internet.

I'm going to check the RAM in my dads comp and hope to see if theres a possible swap we can do. if not i may try switching my 2.0 GHz spare comp (made from my old mainboard, a friends processor, my sisters hard drive, lolz) for his 800mhz Intel Pentium 3 (i think) which has like 256 MB SDRAM.

Motherboard Name: TriGem Lomita
Motherboard Chipset: Intel Whitney i810E
The Computer Type: HP Pavilion 310n


its just a crappy old comp. checked my dads comp and it has 2 sticks of PC133 at 128MB. so gonna either do 1 of 3 things.

1. remove the 64 meg ram (lose 64 mb but i probably won't notice it)
2. swap my 2.0 ghz comp with hit 800 mhz and just take the stick of 128MB (he would get a better comp, with a stick of 512MB DDR, I would get the 128MB so i would be somewhat happy)
3. swap my 2.0 ghz comp with the server.. although i'll have to buy a case for it. (dad gets nothing, server would have 512MB with an additional 900MHz practially doubling the speed)
