HELP!!! Memory Stumper.

[TheCandyman]

I just received 4 chips (168pin DIMMs) but they won't fit in any of my mobo's
I lined up the pins with the slot and found that the first alignment pin was off by about 1-2mm

Since it can't fit (It won't even be forced in) I don't even know if it works.

Any suggestions?

The offset hole means it is ECC or registered I think. Hang on let me bust out the book.

Ok there are 2 nothces in SDRAM. One in the middle, and one towards the end.

The middle one either means:
1) 5.0V
2) 3.3V
3) Reserved aka Mystery

The one towards the end means:

1) Reserved aka Mystery
2) Buffered
3) Unbuffered

Its 5.0v EDO memory. Very common on the Pentium Pro PC of yester year.
