Recently I got a "grab Bag" handful of DIMMs, 168-Pin, from a friend's "leaving Mac" blowout sale, but I would kinda like to know if these DIMM chips are FPMs, EDOs, SDs or SGs...

...so, ASAP on the PDQ, because I need to TCB, I would appreciate the 411 on ways to ID these DIMMs. Any labeling they may have had is MIA. 10-4

(non-acromonious translation

...so, I would appreciate any expedient assistance I can get on how to differenciate DIMMs from one another. The ones in question are not labled, so I am really at a loss. Thanks!

See what it fits in. If you have a G4, see if it will fit it (DO NOT START UP THE MACHINE WITH IT IN, AS THAT MIGHT CRASH IT [PC-66]). If you have an 8500 lying around, I believe that uses the 5v. And I think the 4400's use the 3.3. correct me if I'm wrong. As a ref...
