Re: What is Wallstreet's Max Ram?

[Andrew Kershaw]

 >To throw more fuel on the fire... IIRC, some Wallstreet G3 CPU
upgrades can only take 256 MB total (128 per slot). I'm not sure of
the reason for this, but I've heard mutterings about the ROM revision
used on the upgrades.
Perhaps Wallstreet Is, but not Wallstreet IIs.
The "G3 Series" doc on the 1998s contains a compatibility matrix,
identifying the related motherboards and CPUs. There appears to be no
interchangeabolity between these specific I and II components, if I am
reading the matrix correctly.
I was talking about upgrades like the PowerLogix BlueChip or Sonnet 
Crescendo WS, not simply swapping CPUs between models.

Anyway, I'm only repeating what I've read on G-Books, so I could be wrong.
By the way, the ROM is on the CPU module, so when you upgrade the 
module, you are also changing your ROM.  If PowerLogix were using 
older ROMs on their upgrades, it could be a problem.  Or it might 
just be that the upgrades are pickier about the RAM specs.  Anyway, 
go check out the G-Books archive to hear it from the horse's mouth, 
as it were.

Peace,
Drew
