The reasons why this luck occurs > are currently unknown :). I ordered another set of DIMMs, effectively from the same source, but PC100 and coincidentally these turned out to be double-sided. Success! >>>show config ...

If anybody in Germany wants to upgrade a PC164SX to 1GB right now, order Kingston 256MB SDRAM PC100 ECC CL2 memory (KVR100X72C2/256) from Mix or Alternate. Annoyingly, these cost half as much again as the corresponding (but one-sided) PC133 DIMMs. The Kingston part number looks very generic, so I wouldn't expect the exact type of memory to stay the same in time and space. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
