Take a good look at the tags on the RAM, also compare the size, number of and location
(both sides, all one side) of the modules. Compare to the old ones you removed.
PC133 can be tricky, some of it is not well marked with data, some data can be omitted.
I'm looking at three New Kingston PC133 Dimms I bought for one of my older computers.
I can't see any real difference between them and what was in it, but they will not
work on my MOBO that requires PC133 Ram. I bought them off Craigslist, so I'm stuck
with them.
I researched them through Kingston and found that they are specific to a small number
of motherboards. Mine is not one of them.
You may have to go the the MFg's web Site and search by the info on the lable.
If you purchased them new, take one of your old Dimms with you and return them to
the place you got them. Get them to match what you have by Spec in 256mb Modules.
