The PA-2011, which appears to be an ATX version of the 2007, in the manual, says: It is recommended that SIMMs and DIIMs are not installed at the same time on this mainboard to avoid unexpected failure. DIM2 and SIMM 1&2 are shared. That is, it is not allowed to install RAM modules on DIM 2 and SIMM 1&2 at the same time. There's a nice table on ram configs. Some of FIC's manuals are available on their web site: http://www.fic.com.tw/techsupport/motherboards/pentium/pa-2007.htm -castor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
