RE: Dimms in a 170

I realize this isn't a valuable reply, but I just have to commisurate.

Doesn't that suck!!!  This is one of the reasons why the PC has taken over
the server market.  It's the IKEA mentality in computing.  Why buy really
good quality stuff when the fashion will change in three years?
RANT(*OFF)

Okay, maybe I'm biased.  I am looking for cherry and plantation mohagany and
a server that doesn't "GPF" when I close two windows at the same time.

And I wonder why my FSIOP/IPCS/INS (isn't that an immigration service) is
200Mhz.

This may be a dumb question, but I have to ask it...

So I added 256MB to my 170 (a pair of 128's) to the tune of $2500.00.  Boy,
they sure _look_ like 168 pin Dimms, but I didn't put them side by side
with, say, some PC100 DIMMS.  CISC memory... at least that LOOKED
different...

I assume that there really is some reason that these things cost ten times
the PC memory?

Any thoughts?  Even 'third party' memory is way up there in price.
