I know, that's why I apologised :-)))  put it down to laziness on my part.

Thank's David.  There are no stickers on any of it :-(((  It's old
stuff that was given to me.  Memtest will be an absolute must as I
haven't got a clue as to the provenance of this stuff.  For all I know
it might all be duff...  I do know it hasn't been handled properly. 
I'm always very careful and put the antistatic bracelet on etc.hold it
by the very edge blah, blah..  The chap I had it from thinks it's ok
to pull a plug from a live parallel, serial port then wonder why the
port has burned out :-(((  Hence the reason I was hoping for some sort
of ID before I actually go to the trouble of inserting the RAM into a
mobo.  Mixing PC100 and Pc133 shouldn't be a problem but it may
conflict if the timings are out.  Plus it will run only as fast as the
slower RAM.  It did cause a problem for me once as it made a PC run
like frozen treacle until I took one stick out..  Cheers though :-)
