NOTE!
As PC100 is getting increasingly difficult to acquire, PC133 can be used instead. Using PC133 may or may not increase the performance of your model, as some models may underclock it to their respective original DRAM speeds.

PC100

This is SDRAM at 100 MHz in a 144-pin SO-DIMM form-factor.

  5. These are uncommon models that utilize the 82443BX memory controller, which allows them to accept 512MB of RAM in total. Not all of them come with this specific memory controller however, as some are limited to 256MB due to their 82443MX memory controller.
