What will happen if you place an old stick of PC-100 or PC-133 RAM into a newer motherboard running 256MB DDR RAM?

PC-100 or PC-133 SDRAM will not fit into a DDR SDRAM slot. If you look at the bottom edge you will see that the number of notches and the spacing of them are completely different. Even if they did use the same sockets, they are not at all compatible with each other, to the point that if you have a motherboard with both sockets you would only be able to use one type of RAM at a time.

If your computer will hold 1GB of memory and it only has 128 MB of memory how much can you add?
In principle, you could 896 MB, however you'll almost certainly have to remove the 128MB memory and replace it (probably with two 512MB). If this is what I think it is, namely a blue and white Apple Power Macintosh G3, the computer had two 64MB DIMMs in it when it shipped. You have three options: Install two 256MB DIMMs (always PC133--the book says PC100, but PC133 is compatible and it's all you can get now anyway) alongside the 64MB DIMMs to have 640MB RAM. Remove one 64MB DIMM and install three 256MB DIMMs for 896MB. Remove both 64MB DIMMs and install four 256MB DIMMs for 1GB.

Ibm thinkpad t22 RAM memory upgrade so far i understand that the t22 can only be ugraded to 512mb and i realize they must be pc100 144pin chips. is 256 the max per chip or can larger chips be install?
The max memory for the Thinkpad T22 is 512 PC133 in a 256x256 configuration. The notebook has stepping technology so you are not restricted to PC100. It is backward compatable, but it was designed to go to 133, The only thing you should note is that you can't mix the two speeds. You either have two 100 chips or two 133's not one of each.Again, you are correct. The max per slot is 256mb for a total of 512mb. And the max speed is 133Mhz.In addition, any RAM installed must be the low-density type.
Can you use pc133 instead of pc266?
as long as the chip type is the same, yes you can. The problem will be that you will be bottlenecking the speed in your system because your computer sets itself to the slowest part.
