Hi All, I am in the process of doing up an old Dell PC, which runs Win XP, has two USB 1.0 ports and 2 x 256 MB of RAM. The USB side of things is sorted, I fitted a USB 2.0 extension card, which works fine. The real problem is the memory. The two memory strips fitted are industry- standard 133 x 32 mm, but have their pinout arranged differently to most chips. These have 2 x 46 ways on each side, giving 184 ways total. Also their pins are closer together than the industry standard, giving a wider gaps between the two connector areas. There are two nicks in the PCB, so that the strip cannot be inserted the wrong way round. Sorry about the clumsy description, but my scan of the device was rejected on the grounds of being over the limit for an email.
RAMBus memory? If so, just burn the motherboard and be done with it. Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
