But youv'e only half loaded the board, it has 8 simm sockets, try even adding 2 more simms and watch what happens to your stability.... The crux is, we went to the T2P4D for the 8 simm sockets, and I have yet to see one of these boards run correctly with even 8 single sided 12 chip simm modules in it! ANYONE out there have one of these boards with 8 simms in it working? > -Russell -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc. Reliable computers for FreeBSD
