-> I have (amongst other machines) a Compaq Prolinea 3/25 I just scrapped one of these machines a couple of weeks ago. -> When I open the case, over the memory banks is a -> shield with: 'don't remove this' on it.. The one I saw had "COMPAQ MEMORY EXPANSION DO NOT REMOVE" I wondered about it also. Necessary for proper airflow was the only functional explanation I could come up with. ??? -> I intended to add ram to come to 8 Mb, but I have only -> standard simms available. -> -> Would standard stuff fit in the sockets?? (I was told -> Compaq is generally non-standard!); Likely will not work. The unit I scrapped had 4 4meg modules, and they wouldn't work in several machines and mobos I had laying around (other than the 3/25). I suspected beforehand that they were proprietary. The SIMMs were in two matching pairs (all ECC) First pair: Samsung KMM594000AQ-7 with 9 x KM41C44000AJ-7, Compaq # 141124-001, # on Compaq Bar Code label is *22102* Second pair: Micron Technology MT3019M-7 CQ with one MT4C1024DJ-7 and two MT4C4001DJ-7, Compaq # 141124-001, # on Compaq bar code label is *43044* I scrapped the 3/25 because someone had already removed the floppy, hard drive, and power supply . I also have the mobo, but it needs a new CMOS battery (I cut the old one off because it was starting to leak). If you are interested in the SIMMS or the mobo contact me off list. Bill
