PC-100

PC-100 This is 100MHz SDRAM memory in 144-pin SO-DIMM form-factor.

Available memory types from IBM

Partnumber	FRU	Description
20L0253	20L0263	32MB PC100 SDRAM NP SO-DIMM
20L0254	20L0264	64MB PC100 SDRAM NP SO-DIMM
20L0255	20L0265	128MB PC100 SDRAM NP SO-DIMM
33L3069	33L3070	256MB PC100 SDRAM NP SO-DIMM

NOTE!

As PC-100 memory is getting increasingly difficult to aquire, PC-133 memory may be substituted on some models. Using PC-133 memory will not increase system performance, as it will be run at only PC-100 speed. PC133 memory cannot be used on T20, T21, or T22 models.

9. Intel 440BX motherboard accepts up to 128 Mbit (not Mbyte) chips on the SODIMM, i.e.: 16MX8, 32MX4, etc. A 256MB SODIMM must have 16 visible chips to be compatible. 512MB per slot, for a total of 1GB, is theoreticaly possible; "stacked" SODIMMS with 32 128Mb chips exist, but they're rare, expensive, and may not fit in the RAM slots with the cover closed.
