I bought it at necx and it was listed as 100Mhz RAM... but going back to it is is no longer listed as such. And it is 10ns, not 8ns. I've placed an new order for explicitely "pc100" certified sdram already. ... however, setting the system down to 66Mhz actually makes it amazingly unstable (won't run for more than 5 minutes), whereas it is relatively stable at 100Mhz. Like I said, the crash seems to be linked to running linux programs. I'm not even certain it is unstable otherwise. -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
