And as far as the tech could find in manuals when I called, just standard 3.3v ECC EDO DIMMs. -> buffered 60ns but I'm pretty sure he did say 50ns would work as well. but not to mix the timings within the banks. (and have identical sticks within the banks as well) This was confirmed on this list June 27, 2001 by Brett Bump who got his ram from Coast-to-coast memory. he said "You want the 60ns 3.3v ecc "Buffered" EDO dimms." http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/2001/freebsd-alpha/20010701.freebsd-alpha.html messages 14(my question) and 15(Brett's reply). I've been considering the ram at kahlon.com. It's are 50ns, but haven't gotten them yet. I'll mention it when I do. -Brodie On Monday 03 February 2003 11:20, Geoff Buckingham wrote: > Sorry to ba asking a hardware question but, is anybody succesfully using > nongital memory in their Alphaserver 800 (Regular ECC EDO DIMMs)? > > If so is it buffered or unbuffered? > Is it 50 or 60ns? > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
