cuz.. yeah. maxing my indy's ram would be fun.
Sure, I've used tin lead RAM for years in various SGI machines. There was some discussion about it a while back in comp.sys.sgi.* and no-one who used tin-lead has ever experienced any corrosion problems.
Corrosion does occour, but it took more than 5 years to happen to me, and was fixed by reseating it (however it was gold simms in a tin socket). So just rember to reseat your simms every five years or so, and your set!
