I would turn parity off in my AMI BIOS of course.
(all 8MB, 70ns double sided SIMMS)
The motherboard says : use SIMMS of equal type and
size .. a bit vague for my small knowledge...
All I know is that the triton chipset doesn't take
advantage of parity...so
to mix or not to mix?
Please help, as vendors usually never can't help
much....
Cyril.
Howdy...
I acquired the FreeBSD book from Walnut Creek with 2.1.5 on a CD set. I'm about to build a box to install it in,
and while reading the book, ran across a discussion on the various mother boards to consider. The issue that I'm
currently concerned about has to do with the parity issue. The new mother boards seem to prefer non-parity ram
(which makes absoultely _no_ sense to me, $ aside), but also employ alot of "new" variations of RAM, such as EDO,
etc. Once upon a time I could keep with these variations, but not anymore. Could someone please bring me up to
speed on the stability of FreeBSD in a non-parity system, and how these other RAM solutions fit into the picture?
I hope this is not too far off topic for this group....
Thanx!

7. MB accepts parity or non-parity SIMMs, which to choose?
8. Large Block Device testing -- preliminary results.
9. parity vs. non-parity memory ???
10. Parity chips on non parity MB
11. Parity vs. non-parity for linux ??
13. Mixing memory speeds --> parity errors BUT..
