- HAH! having just replaced 4mb in my Sun ELC (it died and was replaced
- under warrenty) and some others that failed in the SGI where I was
- working (and still consult) I think parity checking is a good thing (tm)
- (my amiga ram expansion include parity but uses dip (256kx4) chips)
-
- mind you my sun has 16mb ram (4x4mbyte simms) and the SGI has 32mb ram
- and both are active 24 hrs/day 7 days a week means the MTBF is very
- high on the simms... just I'd much prefer to know when a module dies rather
- than just have the system doing "funny" things from time to time :-)
-
- me? paranoid? what make you ask? :-)
