For tha sake of clarity I'd like to make a few reflexions. I appreciate the large replies to my post, they are very useful; but I'm having some doubts yet. May be as a spanish speaker I lose some important information. Then...
<Michael Shaw said: "3.3v DIMMs work just fine. I picked up a mitt full of them a few weeks ago for $5.00 each (64 MB) to populate my own 9600. I'm using a mixture of 168-pin FPM 5v and hybrid (3.3v / 5v) DIMMs in my 9600/233 and Daystar Genesis MP 800+ with no trouble but they both have the Tsunami motherboard."> <And Jeff Walther said: "I think that you will find that there are voltage regulators (little three pin component, looks like a minature TO-220 package) on those DIMMs to reduce the supply voltage from 5V to 3.3V. Giving a chip which is rated for a 3.3V supply voltage a 5V source is a *Bad Thing* tm." Then are these chips especifically designed to work as hybrids? Or are the chips 3.3v and occationally work in 5v enviroments? <Bruce Jhonson said: "Very few PC's ever used those (though I've seen a few), opting for the lower voltage EDO 3.3V dimms that came out some time after that and so PC's used those, then switched pretty rapidly to SDRAM."> Then I am not looking for SDRAM cihps?
