Re: OT : Anyone know where to buy some EDO Memory

[geraint@xxxxxxx]

Look to me (from the pics on compaq) that they are very similar to=20
the standard Slot 1 processors, and if I can't source any, I was=20
going to just buy some of them and drill holes in the right places=20
for mounting.

It's to do with the height, mine have the fins on top if you remember=20
and the ones I need dont got higher than the cpu itself.

If you can source any, I would be very grateful, otherwise the Black=20
and Decker will have to come out to play.

regards
