ok good to know.. i need ram in that 100 badly.. though I guess I pulled a chip out of the other 100 I have to install the quad I put in there, so that could be installed in this one.. if I can find it. hopefully I stuck it in with the multiplan chip I yanked to install my other REX.. speaking of other REX it looks like an older revision
