In June I bought 6 modules of 168 pin 128 MB 60ns FPM 5V memory for PCI PowerMacs from an famous American eCommerce. I put 2 of them to my 7200/120 and everything is fine. The Mac has been running with these memory modules since then. The other day I checked the ID number of memory chips and the number was as follows; MT4LC8M8B6 -5 D >From the Chipmunk web site and the Micron Technology's site, 'L' means 3.3 volt and it should be for 3.3 volt. As the PCI Macs should use 5 volt, so this memory should be in a very dangerous condition. The Chipmunk web site says "Remember that using a 3.3 v module in a 5 v computer will result in the immediate death of the module. Using 5 v modules in a 3.3 v computer will at best work unreliable." These memory modules are still running very well. Is there any possibility that 3.3 volt chips could be used for 5 volt computer by a certain construction method of module?
