I knew that would have to be a requirement, but I figured I would have had more than one system that did it. The one that does it happens to be a SuperMicro system with the ServerWorks III HE-SL chipset. I assume this is a function of the BIOS and not the chipset, since I have a Compaq server with the ServerWorks III LE chipset and it apparently clears memory on reboot. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
