Can a PowerMac 5500 use PC100 RAM?
It looks like the same size and pin configuration, but I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks!

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).
Peace,
Drew

As alk writes: No! The 5500 must have 5V 64MB (max.) 168-pin EDO 2k 60ns DRAM.
Not SDRAM. Especially not 3.3V, unless you are into magic smoke release.

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!
