I've long wondered about this very thing. Reading the 2400's devnote a couple of years ago, I noted the 3v EDO SODIMM requirement and did some searching to see what sizes were available. The largest I could find at the time was 64mbs. 3v EDO modules are pretty much a standard item, and since the 2400 was designed for this very type of ram . . . but having no 2400 (then or now) I didn't follow up. Today this search pulled up a bunch of 128MB (and smaller) modules: <http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?GetResult&SortProperty=MetaNewSor t&query=edo+sodimm&sr=n&ht=1&combine=y&st=2> So will these 128s work in a 2400? Will one of these 64s work in a 2400? Anyone want to buy-'n'-try? At ~US$60 for a 128MB module and ~US$25 for a 64MB module, it would be a _breakthrough_ for PB2400 owners to find out they do work!
