Apple says it can damage the motherboard. Use only FPM RAM in the 7200. The same applies to the clones based on the 7200 which are the PowerCurve, PowerCenter, PowerTower (no Pro) and the PowerCenter Pro. EDO is fine in the PowerTower Pro and the PowerWave. >so you can >put 128MB sticks in each slot, but the memory guide at other world computing >shows the biggest to me 64MB 128 MB DIMMS work fine in the 7200. With just one DIMM, I found that I had to put it in the slot furthest to the right or the machine wouldn't boot up. According to Apple's Hardware Developer's Note for the 7200, it supports 256 MB DIMMs but I don't believe anyone ever made any. If there were 256 MB FPM DIMMs then you could install up to 1 GB of RAM in the 7200 (or the related Power Computing clones). >I don't think this really matters, but if you can interleave on this machine >then having matching RAM in matching ram slots (i.e. A1 and B1, a2 and B2, >etc)is supposed to increase your speed a little The 7200 uses a different memory controller from the x500 and x600 machines, so there is no interleaving on the 7200. Use any mix or match of DIMM sizes on the 7200. Jeff Walther -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
