I've found an archive of a Newer Technology URL detailing a Newer
Technology CPU upgrade and RAM compatibility issue:

<http://web.archive.org/web/20000817093856/http://www.newertech.com/support/faq/memoryspec.html>

Other sources (including Mac Gurus) state that: "You must install 162244
'dual-dampened' memory, whether you are buying FPM DIMMs or 5v EDO DIMMs
for a machine running a NewerTech upgrade card.Make sure that the RAM
you buy simply incorporates a 162244 buffer:

<http://web.archive.org/web/20010529153748/focus.ti.com/docs/prod/productfolder.jhtml?genericPartNumber=CY74FCT2244T>,

which is required for absolute compatibility with NewerTech upgrades.
Some NewerTech boards also manifest extreme pickiness over buffered
versus unbuffered memory:

The only way to see if this is a problem in your machine is to remove
each of the memory modules and on the center chip there will be a number
either 16244 or 162244. If it is the 16244 remove it."
