The 5 volt FPM and EDO have the same notch configuration, but they're definitely not the same as any 3.3 volt, and the 3.3 volt EDO and SDRAM have unique notches. What is irksome is the prices being asked now for the 5 volt EDO my Powermac 7300 needs. :P Hmmm, just searched some and found it can support up to a gig of RAM, but OUCH! = It's total Fandemonium! http://www.fandemonium.org __ Do you Yahoo!?

Pretty much covers the biege pci macs, the nasty 4400/7220 included while touching on new-world. 72-pin FPM and EDO are more confusing since they dont play well together.

FPM or EDO its all treated as FPM, once you get 2 or more the 7300 will feel better to use. AU$50 per module, you must be able to do better than that. ;) -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

The 5V and 3.3V have different notch configurations but only slightly different. If you aren't paying attention you could damage something trying to put the wrong device in.

I just checked www.ramseeker.com and it showed 128Mb DIMMs from US $18 to US $69 with most being around US $25. So sure it's more expensive than newer stuff but that's hardly surprising. According to www.memoryx.net the 7300 can take either FPM or EDO. Then again, do you really need to max it out??? -- -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
