>shows all PowerComputing machines except the PowerBases as requiring FPM ram.
well I've been running edo ram in my power computing clones with no problems for a long time, so I'd put out what I've heard on the subject that most computers CAN use the EDO but wont take advantage of the ability to bank data dually??? so basically it reduces the EDO to FPM performance. I seem to remember the tech guy telling me when I bough my original Powerwave132 for $1700.00 that it could use either (and it has been since, currently using three 128mb EDO's. While this Powertowerpro is using one 128mb stick (seemed to have problems with two) HMMM go figure! kickfire But concerning those using 3 volt memory modules, yeah your prob. right That would definately be a possible problem, but don't know for sure so I'll take your word on it. ---------- >From: "Michael S.
