They run slower but also cooler than 7200 ones. I have a DORS-32160 (2 GB) and a DCAS-34330W (4 GB) and they run fine. Both are Ultra and the 34330W is of course also wide. There is also a DCAS-32160 but I don't know the differences between DORS and DCAS (except that IBM don't sell DORS anymore :-)) -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: There are no limits -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #36: Sat Oct 4 19:58:34 CEST 1997
