So, does the 8200 have the same EDO RAM restriction as the 7200 ?!
Or are you saying that the 120MHz version of the 7200 (and therefore
the 8200/120) doesn't have the EDO restriction ?
Shit case design incidentally. I am moving the 8200/120 MB into the
7200/75's case and then I'm sticking my 2nd PC guts into the 8200's
tower case. The best way to make a PC look good...

How do I know if it's 5V or 3.3V ?

Nope, I strongly suspect the PSU, I just haven't laid my hands on
an ATX PSU yet.

What if I have a G3 upgrade card (Formac) with 1MB on board ?
Does the external cache still count ?
