First thing I notice with this information is that the memory cannot
possibly be all original. Just looking at the report on the RAM that is in the
2 populated slots you have 2 totally different speeds and latency types of
memory. Granted I come from a PC World mostly and just
and pulled out the two sticks that weren't marked
133 and put in the two sticks I found.
The only change is that in slots J21 and J22 now have 133 ram and J23 shows
empty.
I think this is an improvement.
