Anyone have a clue about this part of my previous question (friend is coming this morning and I am tempted to try a 128 chip in the memory slot but it would not look good if it ruined his computer. I would try to shift the blame on to all of you of course ...) The CPU is the 603e.
Subject: Performa 6360 From: David Elmo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
it has 2 slots for 168 pin RAM, book says 136 is max (8 on board) but this was before 128 chips were around. Would 2 x 128 chips be OK in this machine? And is it same chips as for 7300 and 7600?
Looking at Data Memory Systems configurator, it uses the same DIMMS (60 ns 2K refresh 5V buffered) as other PCI macs, but they don't sell the 128 with it.
They're the same voltage and type of RAM, though, so (me being 80% certain here) worst case scenario is that it simply won't boot with that memory in it, or it will only show 64 megs.
There may be a motherboard limitation or Apple's info may simply be from when there were no 128 mb dimms...
