Hi there,
I'm new to the board and, as you can see by my motherboard, I'm working with a very old computer. I have to do what I have to do. Right now, it's running on 384MB, if you can believe it. I had my roommate, who knows a thing or two about computers, look at what type of RAM I would need.
So, the motherboard is an ECS M830LR. My roommate told me that I would need PC2700 333mhz RAM. However, I've been looking around to make sure, and I found this old post in this forum. The guy says he has the same motherboard but has PC2100 RAM.
Here:

Post is titled: Really could use some help with finding the right ram for this motherboard\

I found cheap 1G PC2700 for $22 and I would like to get it because buying a 512mb and another 128MB to reach this old gals full RAM capacity, is more expensive.
Do I need to know have more information about this motherboard to make sure I get the right stuff?
Will both PC2700 and PC2100 work? I think I read that PC2100 is slower. Is that the only difference?
Would the puter run better with just one RAM stick instead of 4 to make the full 1 GIG?
Is there any more information I could provide to help you answer this question?
Thank you for looking and responding?
Cheers,
Leequa
