NONE of my memory suppliers have the 365X listed as supporting the 64meg
part..
you have a very singular machine, 64meg DIMM, both of the foregoing, OR
everyone is really dumb.. :-)
many have said the 701 will not support the 32meg part.. even IBM said that
early on.. and probably still shows that a 16meg part is the max in a 701..
(we all know this to be untrue)
so it may well be that even though no one SUPPORTS the 64meg part in the
365X, it will work..
when asked, i will say it won't work, because i can't tell you it will when
my vendors don't sell it for the 365X, AND i have no 365X upon which to
experiment..
