For FreeBSD set options MAXMEM= (28x1024) in the kernel and recompile (***This is not the exact syntax as I don't add it often <smurk>..check the LINT file) Michael G. ---------- From: Pedro Giffuni[SMTP:giffunip@yahoo.com] Sent: Saturday, January 24, 1998 3:10 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Mixing 60 and 70ns SIMMS Hello: My box (Compaq Deskpro/i) was designed to receive 70ns SIMMs, but I had to buy 60 ns SIMMs because they were easier to find (and cheaper :-). This is, of course not optimal, but it should work. I had a previous 8M SIMM (70ns) and I added two 60ns (8M each). The system board has 4M-70ns so this totals 28M (all is parity memory). The BIOS detects and checks all the memory without problem, but every operating systems has a different idea of the memory available: OS/2 Warp 3 reports 28M M$-Windows 95 26M FreeBSD 2.2.5R 16M I have tried changing the order of the SIMMs with no change. Any comments ? :-) cheers, Pedro. == --- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve ! http://www.FreeBSD.org _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
