[HECnet] DIMMs for a DS10 ?

[Zane H. Healy]

I don't know about the DS10, but in my PWS 433au, and my XP1000's I just used generic server RAM.   The RAM in the PWS was pretty far out of spec, and I never had a problem.   Same thing with my AlphaStation 200's and DEC 3000/300LX.   As long as you can get parity RAM that fits, and is close to spec, odds are pretty good it will work.

Then there is my **** Alphastation 500/333 I bought from Compaq with only 96Mb of RAM.   Over a decade later, it still only has 96Mb of RAM.   I got a good deal on the PWS 433au, it and the RAM were cheaper than what it would have cost to get the AS 500/333 up to a usable amount of RAM.   Who me, bitter?   :-(

The HP part number 3X-MS310-EA. From what I can gather, this is a kit of   200 pin, 100 mhz 512 MB set of DIMMs.

Would generic RAM do instead?* If so, what spec? Anyone got pointers to a site that sells them (pref. in UK or EU), or maybe wants to unload some on me?
