Hi, 4400 was the unlucky number; in chines number 4 and "death" either share the same "phonema" or the same ideogram, not sure on this, so Apple since it wouldn't sell in Japan (where the same character set or part of it is used and having not one but two 4s was particularly unlucky)) decided to change the name in the Asia-Pacific region to 7220, making things confusing.
As a side note you would have probably noticed that no company has ever marketed a 666MHz chip, I guess if Apple did that it would be Darwinist, Communist and also advertising for the Devil;-) Still, I am not that confident to put those modules in a 7220 Logic Board until someone has a definite answer as to their compatibility, I do not want to ruin either a good system or some good RAM (or both) just for the sake of it. So, please, if anyone has an idea of what I am talking about, speak out and tell me if some 168pin 3.3V ECC unbuffered 60ns RAM modules (2 x 64MB and 1 x 32MB) would work with a 7220/200 (same as 4400/200) Tanzania LB based Macs. This RAM comes out of a HP Netserver LD pro 180 (Pentium Pro 180MHz) system.
