Anybody know? I've heard something like this too, though I don't remeber what it was. I think it had to do with the BUS speed, hence we're seeing "100mhz compatible memory," instead of 8ns or 10ns or whatever. Pretty much to answer the first posters questions, it don't matter how fast your memory is, your computer can handle it. Now... weather it handles it with no parity problems, etc, is a measure of the quality of the memory and your motherboard. I.e. Packard Bells are famous for having 70ns memory, but it tended to run at 80 or 90ns pretty easily. :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
