Hey folks,

I hate asking questions for proprietary machines; but here goes.

Customer has a Packard Bell Multimedia (M-415) computer...166mhz, (2) 12mb
DIMMs to total 24mb as near as I can tell.  I don't believe there is any
on-board memory as has been the PB custom in year's past.

Does anyone know what voltage DIMM these take?  I know that it is non-ECC
and 66mhz 168-pin... I just need to find out if this board takes 3.3 or 5v.

...and you are correct if you assume that I could not locate manual or
etchings on motherboard to tell voltage for DIMMs.

thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the advice.  I own an auto repair shop and fired up my
compressor and cleaned everything with max air (180 psi) .  It looks like
it's working.  I got a bunch of dust out of the power  supply.  I cleaned
all connection too.  This sucker may die tonight but it's up to snuff now.

I do appreciate the help,
