Francois RAM question: i recently inherited RAM from a graphite iMac, it works in my cube, and i notice in the system profiler, that the new ram is 133 mhz, and my old ram is 100 mhz! will this cause problems or will my amazingly genius operating system be able to handle that? im guessing if possible all my ram is running at 100 mhz. here's the text form the system profiler. DIMMB/J7: Size: 512 MB Type: SDRAM Speed: PC133-333 Status: OK DIMMC/J8: Size: 256 MB Type: SDRAM Speed: PC100-222S Status: OK DIMMD/J9: Size: 512 MB Type: SDRAM Speed: PC133-333 Status: OK Thanks everyone Happy new year!
