In 1996 Most PowerMAcs that came with 120-pin VRAM came with 2MB in a pair of 1MB SGRAM SIMMs, well the 7600 did at any rate. They are definitely 512k modules, the chips are registered as 256kx16bit in the table I found whilst googling (it's in Excel format) for the chip number (MT4C16270DJ) so, 4 chips - 512kx32-bit or 256kx64bit. I can't really imagine them being 1MBx16-bit if they are for VRAM.... -- -- Mark Benson Any spelling errors are attributed to PEBKAC SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
