Here's another update on the EPIA stuff I got. I tracked down the BTX
problem... it turns out that the motherboard becomes unstable when
I put a second SDRAM simm in it. The BTX faults went away when I
dropped the external bus from 133 to 100MHz.
It turns out that the PC133 dram I bought from idot.com was, in fact,
PC100 dram. The chips are 48LC32M8A2-75's, which are listed by Micron
as being PC100 non-ecc sdram.
So it looks like idot may not be quite on the up-and-up. I am going
to have to return the dynamic ram I guess and get them to replace
it with real PC133 dram.
