Well, well, well. I took my computer apart to see what memory I had in there
because I am ordering new memory and I need to match what I already have.
The sticker on the ram module said "PC2600." I was going to order pc2700
instead of PC2100, which would have cost me an extra $20.

I ran CPUz and it said I had PC2100. . . .not 2600! If I had ordered the
2700, it probably would have worked, but of course it would have worked only
at the 2100 speed. The point I am trying to make though is that I would have
wasted $20.
