[plug] pc66 ram

[John Knight]

A manual? For a Socket 7 board!!!??????? lol!

>>t might pay dividends if you check out the voltage requirements of the RAM
>>and compare it to the voltage options on the motherboard.
>>
>>If I remember correctly :
>>
>>66 MHz RAM likes 5 volts and 100 MHz & 133 MHz RAM likes 2.8 - 3.2 volts 
>>approx.
>>Can somebody else confirm that for me please.
>>
>There is 5V PC66 RAM in the usual DIMM format, and there is 3.3V (?) PC66 
>RAM in the same format. I think they're actually keyed differently (those 
>friendly notches in the DIMM's board), and so 5V PC66 won't fit a 3.3V 
>slot, and vice versa. Your board could omit the keying "pin" (ridge in the 
>slot) if it wanted to support both I guess....
>
>In general, for very old boards with DIMM slots you need to hit the manual 
>to find out what kind of RAM it wants. This is particularly aggrivating 
>when the manual refers to support for those new-fangled DIMM things.... or 
>at least provides so little info that you can't actually find out what kind 
>it needs, what sizes it supports, etc.
