the problems with DRAM occur because: 1. You try to install PC SIMM memory that is NON-parity memory. The routers require PARITY memory. 2. You have memory that is not fast enough (70 ns maximum)
I've never had a problem with flash memory installations, so I can't comment on that. Not all memory is created equally ;-) -e- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Crane" To: Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 4:20 AM Subject: RE: C2500 DRAM problem [7:24954] > Hi Johan > > There is generally nothing special about DRAM or Flash they are certainly > usable in other systems so they are not of a proprietary design. > > We have had problems with some 3rd party DRAM and Flash in the past usually > due to poor handling at the manufacturer.
