Crucial Tech lists this for the PW 500au: http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.asp?Mfr%2BProductline=Digital%2BPersonal+Workstation&model=Personal+Workstation+500au&submit=Go which is SDRAM,66MHz,CL=2,ECC. This is what I ordered for my 500au and it works fine. Note that they do list the quantity as 2. And they's not exactly cheap (less than what I paid, but still close to twice that of normal PC RAM.) I'm pretty sure that the memory controller on the Miatas actually clocks at 66MHz and that the DEC parts were overrated. (gotta love that belt+suspenders engineering approach) I've had a grand total of one correctable ECC machine check in the past two years, and that's when it got up to 92degF in the computer room. :-/ #!/jameel/akari for zig in $(find / -name zig); do rm -f "$zig"; done; export GREAT_JUSTICE=1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
