Good morning all,
I recently bought a Dimension Board from eBay, unfortunately I don't have a monitor connection cable and a suitable monitor at the moment, so I can't test if it's in working conditions or not.
The seller told me that the Board was carefully removed from a working cube, but I have two questions that arise looking at the board:

What's the function of these connections ? can in your opinion the board works well in this condition ?

Thank you
Luca.
Those connections aren't used for anything (testing maybe?).
Yes it will work fine with only 4 of the 8 ram slots filled.
Thank you Jroark,
somebody else has the connection like shown in the picture and can confirm that ?
How much RAM should my Dimension Board has with that four ram slots filled ?
Thank you!
Luca
Depends on the ram, could be 4mb, 8mb, 16mb, or 32mb.

You can use undocumented 8MB sticks with an total of 64MB for the dimension.

Right, but he only has 4 slots populated.
