I think that since this is a leasing deal, the price of ECC ram sounded alot more scary then it really is. When it comes down to monthly cost, it's rather nominal in my opinion. : But your shop may be entirely different. It is, but your practice is very sound. After all the discussion that has been going on here in private e-mail, I've decided to go for the ECC mem once I figured out that it wasn't really that bad when done with a lease which is how we were going to do the server anyways :) Thanks for your advice and suggestions. : -- : These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy : ====================================================================== : Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV : Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 : Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels : http://www.skynet.be || Belgium : * Matt Heckaman - mailto:matt@lucida.qc.ca http://www.lucida.qc.ca/ * * GPG fingerprint - A9BC F3A8 278E 22F2 9BDA BFCF 74C3 2D31 C035 5390 * -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://www.lucida.qc.ca/pgp iD8DBQE5V2iUdMMtMcA1U5ARAiQiAKCTB/wpJ0jmodwxGxYKO7VTm+vm5ACfXnuS RAuTqcPHsyndRXnInRk8aX0= =KWO2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
