just a random question

[robert jorgenson]

i have a P1 133 MHZ processor, and i dont know exactly what MB off hand but it is an ibm chipset. the problem is i only got 4 SIMM slots, so
the most i would be able to go with 8 MB sticks is 32 megs, and i actually have 8 sticks of the 8MB ram myself :P As for the type of RAM,
just 72pin EDO SIMMs. And on ebay right now there are 4 listings for ECC SIMM ram.
