(gotta love > that belt+suspenders engineering approach) I've had a grand total of one Well, I a few years back I tried (unsuccessfully) to move 66MHz ECC SDRAM from a PC into a miata, and it didn't work. So there may be something special about the memory that Crucial is not telling you (like their web form doesn't know about 83MHz ram, but that's what they're actually selling you). Or it may just be CL2 vs CL3 (its been over 3 years, and I don't remember what I tried other than it was 66MHz ECC).
