the *final* answer that I've found on this is that it depends on
the density of the actual RAM chips on the DIMMs...
(i.e. I have a DIMM that's 256MB ECC PC100 w/ 4 chips on it and
a DIMM that's also 256MB ECC PC100 w/ 8 chips on it). The one with 8
actual RAM chips on it works whereas the one with 4 doesn't. So I
guess the chipset that's in the 5300/1200 series can only take
certain densities. (even though you 'supposedly' cant run 256MB
DIMMs in these, they works fine)

Not really detailed specs BUT . . .
Kingston memory has a great RAM spec'cer:

Digging through "More Info" on the 64MB module leads to a link
that
will crossmatch this module to all applicable motherboards (at least
those
in the database 8) and this mod appears to be only DEC boxes . . .

The geographical center of Boston is in Roxbury. Due north of
the center we find the South End. This is not to be confused with South
Boston which lies directly east from the South End. North of the South
End is East Boston and southwest of East Boston is the North End.
