I found out it uses SDRAM (PC66) at the Micron RAM configurator, very useful
site to find out that kind of thing.

It's a got a VIA chipset, PC100 seems to work just fine. It actually runs with
two SIMMs on the bank right next to the DIMM bank. There are no jumper settings
to set the RAM type, I guess it does it automatically. I'm not too sure about it
being able to set the DIMM at 3.3v and the SIMMs at 5v so I'll pass on the combo
idea unless I can find the manual telling me it's okay.

Thanks for your help.
