I already know that I want 80 nsec, parity (ie, 9 bits/byte) SIMMs. But is there some additional spec: "fast page mode", or something like that? What I want is the fastest, most reliable memory system available. -- Joel M Miller Internet: jmm@skivs.ski.org Smith-Kettlewell Institute Usenet: uunet!skivs!jmm 2232 Webster St Bitnet: jmm%skivs.ski.org@uunet.uu.net San Francisco, CA 94115 Voice: 415/561-1703 Fax: 415/561-1610

Yes, you need to use 80ns FAST PAGE MODE SIMMs. One further caveat on using parity (once the systems become available): all of your SIMMs must be parity SIMMs, or parity will be disabled. I.e. if you have 7 parity SIMMs and one non-parity SIMM, your system will turn off parity checking (plus you'll get a dialog from the system each time you boot telling you that parity's disabled ).
