I'm putting together an old P-III 600 system. A co-worker bought it from another co-worker super cheap knowing something was wrong. It has 2X128 megs of generic RAM and one module tested bad with memtest.
I scrounged around in my junk box and found another 128 meg stick that tested good, one 256 meg stick that tested bad, and a pair of matching 128 meg PC133 sticks that just give a long beep and won't boot (tried them together and each separately).
I vaguely remember the two matching sticks might of came out of an AMD T-bird system. My question is: was there SDRAM optimized for AMD that might not work in Intel systems? I sort of remember something like that... low vs. high density or something like that?
