My grandaughter has an old HP pavilion 550mhz pc with (1) pc133 128mb ram. Will my pc2100 Infinion work well with hers to give her a total of 256mb? I don't care about a major improvements. She just needs extra ram and I have this pc2100 laying around collecting dust.

That's what I thought but it was a shot in the dark.

Now I feel kinda silly even posting the question. Just took a look and they are completely different. Well, guess I should buy her a 256mb stick then. She is just 9 years old so performance is not an issue. Any idea where a good place to get it?

i assume you're seeking the cheapest possible place. If you're looking on-line www.komusa.com has pc133 128 mb sticks for 29 bucks with free shipping. http://www.komusa.com/12pc16gensta.html use the coupon code sdram for free shipping.
