5V and 3.3V SIMMs

[Caius]

I'm about to buy 100 EDO SIMMs for next to nothing. However I don't know if they're all 5V or not. Can I damage my Blizzard 1230IV if I put a 3.3V SIMM into it? Also, is there any way I can tell if a SIMM is 5V or 3.3V? They don't generally seem to be marked as such (or I just don't know where to look).

@banzai
That's good info, thanks!

For the record, I've come across 3.3V 72pin simms several times in my searches. Often for IBM servers, so proprietary, yes.

Years ago I asked DCE about The Blizzard 1260 SIMM Voltage.

The Blizzard cards only accept 5 Volt SIMMs.

You contacted them and actually got an answer? Wow, that must be one in a million. I tried contacting them myself a few times in the old days, never received an answer. I also know several other people who never was able to get in touch with DCE.
