OK, i just took a look inside my computer cuz i was reading something about ram, it informed me that if you mix different speeds of ram your computer will pick the lowest speed and go with that. I got two edo 16 meg ibm 70ns chips(maybe 7.0 i dont know)i got one sdram 64 meg pc133 chip and one sdram 32 meg pc100 chip, i know i know not a good combination. so i took out the 32 meg and both 16 meg chips. to see if theres a speed increase, i dont know yet cuz i havent tried(its only been like 3 minutes)besides thats not why im here. i just wanted to know if the two edo chips are any good, should i just put on one of my other machines or keep it, or what and what should i do with the 32 meg? Well im off to unreal!

You could keep the 32 meg..it isn't really slowing you down unless you just can't get as high a FSB overclock with it in.

For the EDO you could stick it in another computer (remember that you have to have pairs of it) or you could try to sell it, check Ebay for typical-ish prices.
