----- Original Message ----- From: "Chad R. Larson" <chad@DCFinc.com> | You mean, no problems you've noticed. You may very well be right | about no problems, but please be aware that Windows will not | detect/report many errors that will trip up FreeBSD. Quiet data | corruption is the sometimes result. Well, I wasn't trying to impune the charater of FreeBSD, but this cpu/ram/mobo combo I pushed pretty hard under Win2k without EVER getting errors. I have 128MB of RAM in it and I often had over 300MB total VM in use. Machine was powered up 24 x 7 and seldom rebooted for ANY reason. If there's a memory glitch, I'm sure it was silent as I didn't get the problems I typically associate with low budget kit and Windows. I've swapped the CPU for an Intel P166 and had another buildworld die, so I don't think the K6 is to blame. I'm going to run memtest all night long and see if it can identify any problems.
