It uses 83 MHz unbuffered ECC SDRAM DIMM's installed in pairs. IIRC double sided DIMM's (ie, RAM chips on both sides of the DIMM). It is hit and miss getting PC100 ECC DIMM's to work. I've seen successfully reports from using a pair of Kingston KVR100X72C2/256. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
