Hi All;
I was about to order 4Mb Ram chips yesterday when the order taker asked me which I wanted 30 or 72 pin chips.....
Well, I don't know. Can anyone tell me how to tell which I need? I have a "OPTI-486WB" motherboard that was made in 1992. It has 8 slots with 1MB chips in each now.
You can usually tell by the length of the chips or slots, but since you don't have both to compare the lengths against that won't really help. Judging by your description above though, I would say that you are currently using 30pin chips which are about 1.5" shorter then 72pin chips. -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - <A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas"><A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A">http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A</A>> S.u.S.E.
