The 5V DIMMs were pre-PC66 - basically they were around when a 50Mhz bus
speed was standard, and 60Mhz was a high-speed system bus.

Those are a few generations after the RAM I'm talking about... I did find
one auction on ebay selling some 5V 128MB RAM for $13 a stick, which isn't
bad... still, nearly twice as much per MB as current DDR and DDR2 prices.
