ECC EDO 72-pin memory was (is?) rather rare. I would install fast-page mode
parity memory in the workstation, paying attention to whether gold- or
tin-plated SIMMs are needed. Gold-plated SIMMs go into gold-plated SIMM
sockets, the use of gold leading to higher reliability.
Not knowing the specs of the computer, I would guess that matched sets of either
two or four SIMMs are required... Ben Myers
