----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 1st-can PC RAM work in Macs? I see some that says EDO, and it looks as if it fits in the RAM slots on PCI Macs, butthen I see some that is labled "PC100" and "SDRAM"; what is the deal w/ those? > > I am specificly looking for RAM that can work in either my PCI or Nubus Macs.. but it some other Macs can use SDRAM or PC100 ram, let me know...
PC100 SDRAM will work in beige G3, B&W and G4's (it'll work. but it may be slow for the later G4 sawtooth). The 100 in PC100 means that it will work on up to a 100MHz bus (so it is backwardly compatible with a 66MHz bus but will not work in a 133MHz bus) These would also work in a lot of slightly older Intel/AMD based motherboards out there as well. As far as ID'ing the chips...there's always google :) But unless you have one of the above macs, the GURU app won't be able to help you on the SDRAM sticks. And for all intents and purposes, the VRAM you are after is mac only. I see 112-pin VRAM DIMMS on ebay all the time (for pci powermacs), check your mobo description at macgurus or LEM to verify what type of vram you need. http://www.macgurus.com/products/ram/vram.php There's also always the swap list :) HTH, Caitlin -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
