72-pin Memory
« on: October 02, 2003, 06:17:46 PM »
What do you guys consider the safest and most compatible memory for use with Phase 5 accelerators?

I'd say that the highest chance of success would be if using quality brand name SIMMs that correspond with the bottom mentioned specs (correct me if I'm wrong):

FPM, non-parity, 2K refresh, 5V, 60ns, matching pairs for any card that takes more than 1 SIMM.

Of course, these specs are not a must, mind you, but I think are likely to work with less chance of problems. It is also very annoying that some accelerators seem to tolerate different SIMMs better or worse. :-(


Comments? :-)

My thoughts too. The only accelerator which benefits from EDO simms is the QuickPak A4000 060. All the other ones do not utilize EDO's advantages, nor parity bits.
