It looks like the same size and pin configuration, but I'm not 100% sure. Thanks! #2 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 - 00:05 68kMLA Nope. The won't even fit together. I'm pretty sure the 5500 wants 5V EDO RAM (168 pins and about the same length as PC66/PC100/PC133, but electrically and physically incompatible).

Especially not 3.3V, unless you are into magic smoke release. de #4 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 - 02:35 68kMLA Well, glad I didn't try it then!! 8-o I did some more checking, and discovered that I have the max amount of RAM for the 5500 anyway... Thanks!
