|  #1 Posted on 28.8.06 1021.48 | Instant Rating: 4.96 | According to the HP.com website, the appropriate RAM for my computer is:Originally posted by hp
SDRAM, 133 MHz, Intel PC SDRAM unbuffered DIMM specification, revision 1.0 compliant
Now, there are 144-pin and 168-pin SDRAM that run at the appropriate speed, my processor is a 900mhz AMD Athlon, my dinosaur computer is an HP Pavilion 8720 (D7206B - ABA), and I just want to buy some frickin' memory, and they (the spec gods) aren't going to make anything easy because I can't find a matching sentence fragment anywhere that will explain it to my understanding. Froogle returned NOTHING, Google didn't 'splain for me what this is meaning, a couple of the RAM manufacturers' websites didn't really help, so now my head hurts.
Can someone please tell me if this stick will meet my needs? Originally posted by newegg.com
