Betreff: Cobalt Qube 2 Memory Simms
Hi
In my Cobalt Qube 2 I=92ve been using 2 x 72pin EDO 5v Simms for about 7
months with no problems at all, I know they=92re 5v because I got the =
Cobalt
with little memory in it and had these things lying round out of an old =
Mac
and put them in it, now I know it=92s supposed to use 3.3v but I figured =
that
as the Simms are under volted that worst case scenario would be the Qube
would not boot or if it did boot it would probably crash later on, it =
does
not, it works fine.
I always figured I=92d not bother to mention this as this was maybe a =
fluke or
something, however some guy is selling a few simms on eBay in the UK for =
Raq
2 & Qube 2=92s telling you they are 5v and they work fine.

84&rd=3D1> &category=3D1484&item=3D5762306984&rd=3D1
I=92ve just bought a BeBox dual 133 and was going to move the memory out =
of
the Qube 2 into the BeBox and get some more ram for the Qube 64mb now =
was
considering going to 128 (any advantage in doing this?, I only use it as =
a
file server running NetBSD 1.6.1 but I=92m going to 2.0 soon), I was =
going to
try and get some 3.3 EDO 72pin simms but now this fluke of mine and the =
fact
this guy says it works as got me thinking.
Anybody else here using 5v simms in a Qube 2 or a Raq 2?
Do FPM simms work in Qube 2=92s?
I know these questions have been asked before, Yes I=92ve read the =
manual and
the mail list archives & Googled this to death but everybody says 3.3v
un-buffered EDO, I=92m 100% using 5v and so is this guy, unless he=92s
bulls*&%^ng.
Thanks

A: We've formed a task force to study the problem of why light bulbs
burn out, and to determine what, exactly, we as supervisors can do to
make the bulbs work smarter, not harder.=20
