Title: Best RAM for Cyberstorm MK3?
Post by: Matt_H on February 24, 2005, 09:48:17 PM

I need to bring my Cyberstorm up to 128MB, and I'm looking for the best type of RAM to get. I know it should be:
FPM
~60NS

What other specs should I look out for? Parity or Non-parity? 2K or 4K refresh? 3.3V or 5V?

Thanks.

I am not sure on the voltages but I just bought some cheap $8 60ns FPM SIMMs from Memory World and Kahlon and they worked fine.  Even some EDO seem to work but better just get FPM since they are the same price.

36bit simms can be used but the upper 4bits are ignored.  The
cyberstorm (at least the PPC model) supports the use of EDO,
which is what I use.  The only problem I see with using FPM
is many FPM are not 60ns.  Just make sure that the FPM simms
are indeed 60ns parts.
