Hey guys,

I suppose this has been asked before somewhere but I can't find it right
now...

I want to know which is the preferable RAM type to use for FreeBSD.  I
have heard people say don't use EDO but the reasons seem to be a bit
vague.  Is EDO better/worse or more/less reliable than normal non-parity
RAM ?

cheers,

Carey Nairn
