Not sure if the info I'm providing here is totally correct, but here goes anyway. 6500 and similar motherboards take - 168pin 5v 2k refresh 60ns EDO DIMMs. I think the 128Mb EDO DIMMs which are (currently being) produced are 4k refresh and do not work properly in the above machines. I think you can put them in and they will work, but will only recognise 64Mb instead of 128Mb. All that said, anyone else please jump in here and correct/refute this. I for 1 would be happy to hear that there are 128Mb EDO DIMMs which will work. Please site source of supply as well. Have a PowerBase 240 crying out for extra RAM. ;-) Cheers Giles (c:= -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
