Or the chip configuration? Does 16 X 32 mean 16M X 32? That doesn't sound quite right. That would be 64 MB per chip and times 8 chips would be 512 MB, not 256 MB. [snip, --much info on RAM addressing followed] >> ------------------------------ You are correct that the stated 16x32 8 chips do not add up to 256 MB. After the reading the fine print I discovered this is a "kit" of four (4) 64 MB RAM modules -- not the one module I expected. Sorry, my mistake. More searching revealed a true 256 MB RAM module. It was (perhaps still is?) manufactured by Peripheral Enhancements p/n APLPM00256M6100. According to their web site RAM modules are part of their EDGE memory products. However neither their site nor the product description at: http://hardwarecentral.dealtime.com/xPF-Peripheral_Enhancements_256_MB_APLPM00 256M6100 (no line space in the link) revealed any detailed chip information, not even speed. NOTE: the product description states "This memory was designed for the Apple Power Macintosh PowerMac 6100/60, 6100/60av, 6100/66, 6100/66av." The one source listed as a supplier is "out of stock" and even if these modules are still being sold, there is no way I would spend the $129 each to buy them. I also found a Kingston 256 MB RAM module p/n KTHDSVR/512 with no mention of Mac compatibility. These are also out stock. The selling price on these ranged from $830 to $2670 each!! Unless there is some affordable way of attaining the 520 MB RAM upgrade I will be happy to stay with the 264 MB I have in my 6100's. It provides all the RAM I actually need. Sa' pose I could check eBay. Really want to thank you for your time and the information provided --glen (digest mode) -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
