I am trying to find some memory for my ancient laptop that i bought for megajolt mapping.It is a pentium 100 and presently has 16meg total.
It was running windows 95 ok when i got it but i had to upgrade to win 98 to run the megajolt software. Unfortunately it now takes ten minutes to boot up and another ten to open the program ,by which time the battery is flat .
I am fairly sure it is a memory problem and decided to try and fit a 32 meg sim in place of one of the 8meg but cant find any to fit.
I have looked on Ebay and can only find pc100 type memory with 144 pins.What I require is 72 pin and according to the boot screen edo and 60ns.

I have some old 72 pin stuff somewhere, but its from various desktops, so don't know if its any good for a laptop...

If you can get it on the internet try

This should tell you the exact type and also if crucial do memory upgrades for your machine.
