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? :-( Zane At 10:26 PM +0100 10/26/11, Sampsa Laine wrote: So i've been (with Steve D's) help researching upgrading the RAM on my DS10. 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? Sampsa * The prices are pretty crazy high, 100-150 USD or so. -- | Zane H.
