Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hardware@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, When I check out the various RAM distributors, I can't seem to find EDO simms that also support parity! Why is this? EDO doesn't make parity a moot point, does it? How much of a performance boost does EDO provide, anyways? I'm putting together some servers where stability is a must, but extra performance is always nice. Thanks, Please CC all response to me, as I'm not subscribed to this list. --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X -------------------------------------------------------------------------
