Supermicro can't handle a full 1GB, despite their specs > > $100 says that's it. $200 says that you using low density 256MB DIMMS that are overloading the BUS specification of the chipset on the motherboard. Current price ratio (well, okay 7/30/1999) on 18 chip vs 36 chip 32Mx72b ECC PC100 8nS is still 1:2, or about $300.00 vs $600.00. Alls I can say to those folks trying to do more than 512MB in a box with any current chip set is ``You have to spend the money for 18 chip parts if you want to have any type of reliable operation, no current chipset was designed to drive 144 chips'' Between David Greenman and my self we probably went through $25,000 of parts from various manufactures who claimed that they would work before we finally decided they are all wrong, and that we would just have to wait for the next generation of chips that would allow 18 chip 256MB DIMMS. If your memory vendor doesn't know what 18 chip 256MB DIMMS are drop me an email, they are in ready supply from either manufacture we deal with. All parts are lifetime warrantied. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
