Hmm, the other way round it would surely not work, as the 600E has a 66
MHz system bus, while the T series have a 100 MHz and require SDRAMs to
fit this speed. But the "downgrade" (i.e. putting the 100 MHz SDRAMs
into the 66 MHz machine) could work. At least the voltage is the same
(3.3 V).

You may try it, but don't blame me if it doesn't work (or ruins your
machine!). ;-) Maybe someone else who has already done this?

There are also quite a few other (free) DVD players around.

IMHO, the same as for the T21. I guess the only difference is CPU speed,
isn't it?
