Nope. they must have Gold pins, otherwise there will be metal migration. Use
for a short time might be ok. Also, there is no statement of their speed they
must be 70 ns or faster.
Best bet is to go to Crucial's or Dataram's website and at least get the spec's
for their replacement SIMMs. Then use those to compare against the stuff on
E'bay.
Also, consider that unless you're going to run IRIX 6.5.x, 32 Mb or 64 MB is
fine
for Linux and 2D graphics. Under IRIX 6.5.x, 64MB is the starting point but
the
system will be slow. 128MB or 192MB is much better - 128Mb allows Netscape to
fire up with swapping.
Also, flakey memory will cause all sorts of problems and kernel panics. And
not
just on SGI hardware, but on a common PC. Do not use junk memory, you'll be
debugging lots of problems that do not appear to be memory related and
transient
in nature.
