I've also read the PowerMAC 5v dimms and some of the Sun
dimms were compatible, I am a bit chicken to experiment as my
AS500/400, it is still in use..

I did verify the 5v spec by looking at a spare AS500/266 motherboard's
dimm sockets with a magnifying glass, clearly marked on the center notch
it is marked "5.0v", I did not compare the other notch locations to verify
EDO/FPM or otherwise.
