Processor:AMD® Athlon™XP 2200+(1.83GHz) w/266Mhz FSB OEM
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7VRXP mainboard DDR333
Memory: 256MB PC2100 DDR RAM
CD ROM: Aopen 52x IDE CDROM
Sound card: Integrated Sound Blaster interface
Case: 18" ATX-styled (54.5x24x48.3CM model#850K)
Any day now im going out to pick up the stuff listed above.
Can I use a stick of 256 pc133 and a stick of 256 pc2100 ram together?
I going to be using my current HD and video card (geforce3 ti 200)
What are your thoughts about this setup?

I'm confused with them too. I thought they were different number of pins...
Also, if one is running DDR, it seems like it wouldn't work *at the same time* with the PC133.

If money is tight I would ditch this and just spend another $20 and get a burner. Otherwise add a burner to your setup. I never buy CD readers anymore because good burners are dirt cheap.

Nice setup but I agree with NightTrain ..don't bother with a CD Rom .... get a burner .. for those MP3's, backup copies, data storage, etc .... not much more money.

Well he can't copy CD's only buying a CD reader ;)
It's better to have both but if you're only buying one, the burner is more bang for the buck.

Actually most good CD burning programs offer an option to read the CD to an image file on the hard drive, then automatically burn the image file to the CD when it is completed.
