Please help me identify this ram.

sunrunner20 · Dec 21, 2004

I received an old Pentium Pro based computer yesterday that was in working condition last time it was turned on. But, they took the ram out before giving it to me, unfortunately I have been unable to find the ram type that goes in the socket. Any help would be appreciated.

Note: If anybody has some PM me and then we can arrange a purchase from inside the classifieds.

Small image of the RAM included. I need hosting for a large (~100kb) RAM pic. Untill then, I can email it to you. PM me and I'll send off the image.

well the pic isn't very clear, but it looks like ddr to me. your sig says you have ddr in your main box, so just compare them. if they're different size slots then the new computer needs sdram

Looks like sd because there are three breaks instead of the 2 in ddr.

It can't be DDR. DDR was not invented in during the time of the P Pro's. Nice try though.

most likely edo ram(extended data output) a newer variation of the of the old simms chips.

If I counted correctly it's 168PIN SD-RAM

PC100 or PC133 may work fine, just keep in mind that it most likely won't support modules >128MB or 256MB total.

Also it probably has to be "low density" memory ("Low density" is the wrong term as it really depends on the way the chips are organized).

Ebay may be a good place to look for memory, last summer I bought 128MB (2x64MB) PC100 for ~$15 incl. shipping.

now that u mentioned it it very well could be.. the later models of the p pro did in fact use sd ram.

sunrunner20 · Dec 21, 2004

the Pins are alot less dense than that on a PC100 stick, a PC100 stick will have like 1/2+" gap to fill.

flapperhead is probably right, 168 pin EDO DIMM's are slightly larger.

*kicks Intel in the....* they emailed me a link assuming it was working.

Please help me identify this ram.
