[ltp] Thinkpad 365xd: what kind of EDO Ram should i use?

[Kirk Turner-Rustin]

I upgraded my TP 365X (DSTN) to 40MB with the 32MB 60ns SO-Dimm. On first 
boot after the upgrade, I also couldn't get the TP to recognize the extra 
RAM, either in Linux (RedHat 6.1) or on booting from my small Windoze 
partition (95). I tried reseating the module and rebooting a couple of times. 
At some point I connected the TP to AC power (I had been booting from the 
battery) and the extra RAM was immediately recognized. I've had no problems 
with the RAM module since. It may be that extra juice was needed to update 
the TP's CMOS setup. Then again, it may have been reseating the DIMM that did 
it.

HTH.
