Thanks >Please post to the net or : nshah@acs.bu.edu > Yes, You bought the WRONG SIMMS.....You need 1X36 or 4X36, which are 72 pin SIMMS.....These are better anyway becuase the send/receive data in 4byte (32bit+4bit parity, one for each byte) Chunks. You will undoubtedly see these SIMMS becoming more widely used in the near future. Jason -- **************************** * Jason Walters * * JPW0@LEHIGH.EDU * *JPW0@PL122.eecs.LEHIGH.EDU* * a.k.a.
