I think this posting may have prevented me from blowing up my Powerlogix G3 upgrade processor that should arrive tomorrow! I guess I was under a rock somewhere because I just loaded up on RAM (128 MB 5v FPM168 pin DIMMS ) for my 8500/120 and some for my 9500/132 as step 1 of an upgrade project. G3 and some new PCI cards were to follow for one of my lucky computers, probably the 8500. I'm sure the above reply to Kim's 7500 applies to me as well with my 8500 or 9500. Can someone definitively tell me if my my 9500 should plan on inheriting some practically new RAM and I if should start shopping for 3v 168 pinSDRAM for the 8500 getting the G3? If so, is the installation of this RAM identical to the 5v DIMMs? To quote Kim, "yippee yahoo" I may have to completely take apart TWO poorly-designed-for-upgrades computers soon.
