You'll probably find hacks for converting an ATX PSU to Dell, but using this adapter is a lot easier and you can still use the PSU with standard ATX boards later without having to reverse the hack.

The only thing that bothers me is it's not clear if Dell ever used a non standard pinout on the 20 pin ATX connector, but omitted the extra AT style plug. Then there's no identifiable way of knowing if it's standard or not without further research.

I own 3 Dell Optiplex GX1 PII/PIII machines and trust me, the pinout is different.

Have anyone outside from The USA (especially from Europe) order those ram from https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World … uting/30PS16MB/ here? Trusted place? 5.15$ International Mail + taxes(outside EU) Delivery & Paypal?

I would use them with my SB32 CT3600.

BTW any reason why most 16MB 30pin's are sold in The USA? I Can't find them in Europe, not even Ebay? Were they rare back in the day, expensive or they came time when 72pin's already taking over, etc?

It is frowned upon to necropost. Best to start your own thread. Also note that Marvin is the forum to ask about old hardware.

This is exactly where I buy 30pin and 72pin SIMMs, when I can't find reliable secondhand options. I purchased SIMMs from them at least 4 times in the past, and there were no problems whatsoever.

Sorry to bump this topic, but soes anyone know if these modules would be compatible?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/115027555306?hash=it … v4AAOSwVMBhWves

Specs:
4MB modules
OKI M5117400F-60 FPM (fast page mode)
Organization: 2 chips of 4x 4Mb density
Non-parity (8-bit)
30-pin SIMM
5V power supply
Low latency of 60ns
2k refresh cycle
Low profile of 13.5 mm (0.5")

I'd have two pros buying these modules:
1 - The are purple! Super eye catching =]
2 - Free shipping makes it cheaper for me to buy this 4-piece set than it would be to buy a pair of usual green modules.
Thanks in advance guys!
