Re: original delivery (and 755CD memory)

[Michael Redmond <redmond@engr.wisc.edu>]

I have heard "rumors" that the 755CD Pentium version takes different memory
than the 755CD 486/100 version. I purchased a 32M module for my 755CD 486
version for less than $300. It works so I'm happy.

Whenever you buy memory, make sure that the vendor knows the exact model
number. Then make sure they can assure the memory will work in that model. I
assume the Kingston card would work in just about any 755ce or cse. I will
also probably work in older 755c's. It may or may not work in the 755cx.
Same for older 750's. I think 760's use "EDO" memory, so I doubt that your
module would work in the 760's.

Good luck.
Thanks
Mike Redmond
