I have a PCI PC compatibility card by Apple it has the 166mhz Pentium and its in my PowerMac 9600 the number of the card is 820-0930-A. I says I can upgrade to 168pin 5v DIMM ram chips with ONE "64mb" chip my question is I have a spare 168pin 5v DIMM that was for the PowerMac and its 128mb would that work since maybe the 128mb chips weren't out and like the makes it was officially "unsupported" (IE: would work and not hurt anything), ideas?

Putting in the 128MB stick won't hurt anything, you may find it'll only register as 64MB however.

Update:

It did work!!! So anyone who wants to upgrade their card, you can do it... Just make sure its 5v!
