Hmmm,
    Funny how you never think about things until someone else jogs your
memory.  This question got me thinking.  CAN you mix PC100  with PC66??  In
other words can you install this faster ram on a LX mobo and run it with the
slower sdram?  BTW,  PNY has a pretty good rebate offer until Aug 8th.
