If your motherboard supports non parity ram it will work, the real down side is that if a memory error does occur you wan't know about it as it will not generate a NMI so that FreeBSD can gracefully panic. Instead something will just go wrong some place, without a clue as to why it happened. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
