Re: [H/W] 3rd party memory upgrades for 870 series
The 870 use PC133 SDRAM 168-pin DIMMs and the memory has to be configured in a particular way because most of the standard DIMMs I have tried only show half the memory.
Just as importantly they are a low profile type, standard DIMMs touch the top of the metal shielding. Third party upgrades are starting to appear although they are still pretty expensive considering what they are. On ebay there is somebody advertising 128MB upgrades for $200. My guess is they will get cheaper as more people enter the market. |

Tampa, FL | Having only half the ram show up sounds like the high vs low density problem. If you use high density ram on a low density board, it will only see one side or half the memory. |
