Hi all, Something strange happened, I answered to this post and I had to reiterate the question, after 6 digests it doesn't appear to be there yet, let's try again ...
First the answer: 4400 was the unlucky model number as number 4 is a very unlucky number for the Chinese (means "death"), and since a lot of Asian cultures have strong historical ties with China, in particular Japan in Apple's mind, they decided to drop it for 7220. As a side note you would have probably noticed that no company has marketed a 666MHz chip (all 667MHz), I am wondering whether it has to do with the number association with the Devil or evil in general. After all 666 is an eyecatching number. The computer that will never sell: 4400/666 with 4GB RAM 17GB HDD and a 13X DVD, codenamed "Black Friday" ;-) Second my question: I have these two 64MB and one 32MB modules of 3.3V 168pin ECC unbuffered 60ns RAM DIMMs removed from a HP NetServer LD Pro 180 (180MHz Pentium Pro). I would like to know if they would work in a 7220/200 (which should use 3.3V 168pin EDO 60ns RAM DIMMs. Are these two kinds of RAM one and the same or are they two different and incompatible specifications? I am sure there must be someone here on the list who does know it. So if you read this please answer.
