its all the same, except the 770X has one of the DIMM sockets reversed..

thus what would physically fit in the 770, 770E series will only fit one
of the two 770X DIMM sockets..

what is sold now is 100% compatible, BUT
there may be some older parts that are not, see above... most
manufacturers will swap them out..

the 770X is not a 100mhz buss, it is 66mhz..
100mhz SDRAM needs to meet more stringent conditions, obviously.. :-)
