Martin, I would assume that they are 133MHz, although....
I cannot find any reference of these chips on ICMASTER, nor KOWA as a manufacturer of memory sticks on the web. The sticks should also have a large sticker on them detailing the model of the sticks themselves with either PC100 or PC133 giving the bus speed. I could be wrong, but I believe that the 133MHz just refers to the memory bus. Maybe someone else has an idea of this. (I have never had the need to get down to that level of a motherboard... if it don't work toss it out.) The -7 is slightly superscripted ??? This could mean that it was printed after the chips were off the end of the production line... very odd Is it in different ink ? Does it come off with metholated spirits ? Are you overclocking ? I have had motherboards in the past which would not recognise the 133MHz chips, although these were early versions. Ian -----Original Message----- From: 'Martin F.
