I knew that. But doesn't the QS *take* PC100 RAM as well? While this will include a slight speed decreese it will make the purchase of RAM-DIMMs optional. Right? I've used PC100 DIMMs _and_ PC133 DIMMs in my Quicksilver 2001 733 MHz without a problem. System Profiler shows which type of DIMM you're using. Saying that I have to include that the very same Quicksilver didn't take an identical DIMM -- it just ignored it and showed the memory bank as being empty -- while the other DIMM was recognized normally. That was PC133 RAM by the way and the DIMMs has serial numbers in sequenze. It was and is a mystory to me.
