Bob,

First of all, I would avoid to use Hyandai DRAM on 75Mhz and up bus speed. I have tried to use them, relabeled by Hitachi, before. It worked OK at 66Mhz and gave me "memory test error" at 75Mhz bus speed on Asus T2P4.

To run at 75Mhz bus speed, you do need better RAM. The bottom line of my choice for 75Mhz bus speed are:

Micro 60ns EDO or FP
Micro OEM 60ns EDO (working on our T2P4 P200+)
60ns EDO made in Japan or Taiwan (Workding on our T2P4 P200+)
60ns FP made in Japan or Taiwan (working on my M537 P200+)

It is interesting to observe that M537 is easier to RAM than Asus T2P4. Therefore, there is good chance that you still could use your current Hydai RAM on M537 at 75Mhz bus speed.

As to 83Mhz bus speed with Cyrix 6x86 or M2, the only choices would be these expensive Micron and IBM 50ns EDO. Please note that 60ns EDO is good enough for Pentium at 83Mhz bus speed as Pentium is very weak with RAM speed.

Have fun!
