The memory being an industry standard for its time also helps. I have need of a 16-32mb 72-pin SOdimm, keyway on the side of the pins rather than between them. I found a 16mb only to find it incompatible. The joys of oddball configurations.
In 168 pin DIMMs you have 5 volt FPM, 5 and 3.3 volt EDO and 3.3 volt SDRAM. There may be other configurations. 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.
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.
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!
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???
