I have 3 sticks of generic 128MB CAS3 PC100 SDRAM. The first one was purchased almost a year before the second two. I actually run them at CAS2, haven't had any problems yet other than the MDK2 issue.

The only other factor I see significantly impacting the performance of MDK2 is that 1 of the sticks is actually slightly less than 128MB. I'm not sure which stick it is but I think it's the 3rd stick. It could be the second, but probably the 3rd. I need to play around with them one day to find out.....but then again, I barely use my computer these days anyways and I don't think I have MDK2 anymore.

Win2k. I installed the 3rd stick not too long after the 2nd. What happens in MDK2 is that it just grinds to a halt, literally. Most of the levels are insanely choppy now whereas they previously were very smooth. It is just unplayable. If I find the game again I might pull a stick since I don't really use that much memory anyways and then try it again. I also might be able to get some PC133 for free from a coworker if he's still giving it away.
