Hi, Right, just trying to get my head around RAM for a Lombard I'm building.
According to the specs, it needs to be: 3.3v unbuffered, low power 144 pin 100MHz 10 ns SO DIMM RAM. And I also understand that the 'lower slot' RAM, that is the underside slot on the CPU daughter board, is the smaller 1.5" size, while the upper slot can take the taller 2" (or bigger?) RAM cards. And the smaller, 1.5" size cards will fit in both the lower and upper slots anyway. Am I right so far? Questions: If I look for used RAM (say eBay), what should I realistically look out for? The system bus speed on the Lombard is 66 MHz, yes? But the minimum RAM 'speed' needs to be 100MHz, yes? So do I look out for any old 144 pin PC100 SO DIMM RAM cards? Obviously not - there are differences, so what are they? RAM for Pismos seems much more prevalent both new and used, so will a 256MB card that fits a Pismo CPU board RAM slot also fit on e Lombard CPU board RAM slot? If not, what about the other way: from a Wallstreet? Although the Wallstreet RAM is 'only' 66 MHz, I presume this is incompatible? RAM sold used doesn't necessarily come tagged as 'Lombard' RAM. So what other Macintosh computers actually take the same RAM cards as the Lombard? Thanks very much in advance on this very perplexing issue. Recovering from a bout of the flu, so my own RAM is a bit loose at the moment ;-) Cheers, Cotty _______________________________________________________ Personal email traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MacAds traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out the UK Macintosh ads http://www.macads.co.uk - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
