I would bet that they are older 64 MB DIMMs made from smaller capacity chips. So, instead of having 8 or 16 chips on them, they probably have something like 32 chips on them (16 Mb capacity each) and that is why they are so large. These would be what are known as "composite DIMMs". There are occasional warnings against them going all the way back to the Mac II days (SIMMs back then of course), but in most cases they work fine. They draw a little more power. Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
