I second that; have 3 x 256MB SDRAM Dimms branded
'NEC' but could not find the tech. specs. on the
relevant website and tech support (from Japan) was no

(Rev.A G3 beige desktop, 233 MHz, 768MB).
Virtual memory is not supposed to work with this much
Ram someone said, but a 9.1 install defaults to
virtual memory if the HDD has enough space.
