<< By the way, do you know why it seems impossible to find 168 DIMMs 128 MB EDO or FPM that would be lower than 4k ? This is of paricular interest to me, because when I put such a DIMM in my Peforma 6500 it only sees 64 MB. >> The extra large chips used in the manufacture of 128 MB DIMMs are not made in under 4K refresh. Chips used in 64 MB DIMMs are available in 2K or 4K refresh. Smaller capacity DIMMs are available in 2K and 1K refresh, IIRC. >> Would a 256 MB EDO DIMM be recognized as 128 MB ? >> I am not aware of 5-volt 256 MB DIMMs, EDO or FPM. The 128 MB DIMMs are using 16 devices, and that's all the room there is on the board. The current run of SDRAM uses chips which are four times as dense as the chips used in the much older FPM and EDO DIMMs, hence 256 MB from eight devices (single sided) or 512 MB from sixteen devices (double sided). -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
