Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am in grey area here, in my own experience, so I am dropping back to the pool of knowledge on this list. I am building a FreeBSD internet box and I have some decisions. If a motherboard can handle RAM w/o parity, should one just get sims without parity? Is there any OS level impact or possible problem? I'm running FreeBSD on a dell PC for my work station, and it is running without parity. However, we have had problems running unixware on a PC w/o parity (we are actually a mac reseller, which is why we have so much ram w/o parity :) -Brandon Gillespie
