I've never run or used one, so I don't have a first-hand opinion.
IIRC, all the 604 machines are PCI, and I'm sure the 7024s are.
If it says "RS/6000", you can bet big odds on proprietary memory.
Again, I don't know that first-hand, but I'd bet big odds.... Kingston
is a good reference for that. IBM still has the User Guide and the
Install & Service Guide up for that machine too.

Mind the line wraps.
I've heard they're nice mid-range boxes. I know they're very rarely
seen on the loose, which says a lot.
