[plug] (OT) - Hardware - Motherboard and RAM

[navarre at plug.linux.org.au]

Hello Bret

I have added the currently available SDRAM (pc-133) to many machines 
including those with AMD CPUs and genuine Intel chipset boards and have 
not experienced any problems.

I doubt anyone could say for sure it is going to work, but it is likely 
to work.
I would not attempt to mix EDO and SD RAM but on looking at your message 
I think you are using 64 Megs SD RAM.
