Why not? You might want to checkout the socket pretty thoroughly,
though. At the
time I thought the particular lead might have not been used, and or
someone damaged it when installing the chip. I had never seen a chip with
IIRC, the DRAMs in the model 3 are 16K * 1 4116s or similar. All the pins
are used on these chips. If a pin is missing, then you are going to have
problems...
