Yes. Tony told us what to buy. The 64MB sticks are often too large,
I think because of the way they are made (memory chip organization).
The 32BM EDO strip was just dumb luck. But for $8, I figured I'd
take the risk.

I'll put it on my TRW wanted list... might get lucky again!

BIG it is, but we all have to make these small sacrifices ;-)
But I just cannot understand: why do manufacturers today think omitting
the ON/OFF switch will meet with customer approval? Somebody's nuts.

Lexmark branded cartridges are a little bit cheaper too.
I think there's a Kodak cartridge that fits too.

My sound card uses IRQ 5, but I dunno about IRQ 7. It is so reserved
for printing (in the mind of PC designers), that it may be false hope.
Or it may be somewhat hardware dependent. Some motherboards may allow it.
It's still a mystery to me.
