I changed a paragraph at the end which used to state that Triton II wasn't available to: NOTE: The Intel Triton chip-set based motherboards do not offer memory parity logic, making it almost impossible to detect when a memory error has occurred. Those wishing to build more fault-tolerant systems should therefore buy one of the newer Triton II based motherboards, which offer both better performance and parity checking. I also further edited my copy to point at one of ASUS's newer Triton II MBs, but connectivity to their web site has been so bad that I haven't been able to verify the URL pointing to further information yet, so I haven't committed it. :-( Jordan
