RE: [OT] detecting the RAM speed
Martin,
I would assume that they are 133MHz, although....
I cannot find any reference of these chips on ICMASTER, nor KOWA as a
manufacturer of memory sticks on the web.
The sticks should also have a large sticker on them detailing the model of
the sticks themselves with either PC100 or PC133 giving the bus speed.
I could be wrong, but I believe that the 133MHz just refers to the memory
bus. Maybe someone else has an idea of this. (I have never had the need to
get down to that level of a motherboard... if it don't work toss it out.)
The -7 is slightly superscripted ???
This could mean that it was printed after the chips were off the end of the
production line... very odd
Is it in different ink ? Does it come off with metholated spirits ?
Are you overclocking ?
I have had motherboards in the past which would not recognise the 133MHz
chips, although these were early versions.

they are marked
Kowa A-6263 Q1 -7
where the "-7" is slightly superscripted.
am i to assume that the chips are therefore 133MHz?
can anyone of you think of a reason why my motherboard would not
detect the chip unless i configure the bios to use 100Mhz bus speed
(what is this bus? the front-side-bus?)?
again, any hints are more than welcome!
