256 MB PC133 SDRAM DIMM

This 256 MB Kingston module runs at 133 MHz on the PC133 SDRAM standard. It uses a 168-pin DIMM form factor with non-parity error checking. The part is built to RoHS, China RoHS and WEEE green-compliance certificates. It is targeted at owners of legacy desktops that specifically require PC133 memory.

HP Vectra VL400 upgrade

The supplier lists compatibility with the Hewlett-Packard Vectra VL400, so buyers restoring or expanding that model can use this module with confidence. It is not suitable for systems that need a different pin count, a different memory standard or ECC registered modules. Buyers with newer platforms should verify their motherboard documentation before purchasing.

168-pin non-parity PC133

The single specification that decides fit is the 168-pin non-parity PC133 interface. Only motherboards designed for this exact standard will accept the module. Match the pin count, speed and parity type to your system requirements to ensure correct operation.

Questions about this item

Does my HP Vectra VL400 need a free 168-pin DIMM slot to accept this 256 MB module?

Yes, the module uses a 168-pin SDRAM form factor and installs in a standard PC133 DIMM socket on the Vectra VL400 motherboard.

Can I keep my existing PC133 memory and add this stick without changing BIOS settings?

The module is non-parity PC133 SDRAM, matching the Vectra VL400 specification, so it will run at 133 MHz alongside identical modules without BIOS changes.

How can I confirm the system recognises the full 256 MB after installation?

Power on the Vectra VL400 and check the POST memory count or the Windows System Properties screen; both should show the additional 256 MB.
