 Howdy ! I just acquired one of these with 32m mem.
I had a 380d with a 64m module in it...I put it in the 380z
All is well.

I plan to buy another one BUT.... I see that alot of places say the
380z can use a 128m + the on-board 32m for a total of 160m.
However IBM only shows the Z @ 96m max...32 + a 64

Has anybody put a 128m memory card in a 380Z?

I know the buss is 66mhz..& I think the voltage is 3.3v

Anything else? to get 160m in this?

Bios is latest... IGET30WW 09/04/99

Thanks
John

Max RAM is 160MB with a 128MB stick installed.

Just remember that you need EDO RAM!

Thanks James, that was quick !

Ok on the EDO.....wow..I looked around for that, pricey piece of SODIMM

$20 for a 64m ....and $130 for one of those

I'll keep looking....but at that price ( more than cost of laptop
)...I'll probably be sticking with another 64m

Thanks again for fast help
John

No problem. Keep checking here:
http://www.kahlon.com/result.asp?modelid=6277 for memory for your system.
Kahlon will often have a "sale" on old memory and you might be able to get
it for a reasonable price.

Also, keep checking on eBay.
