Been doing a lot of work on older Macs of late, so I've kindof lost track of where Apple's use of memory technology has gone this past few. Back in the day, Apple poopoo'd error correction in memory -- too expensive, unnecessary, etc. heh. My experiences with large computer facilities taught me that ignoring memory errors is foolish. But Apple, except for a few models, trudged on.
Am I reading correctly that the latest Macs *still* don't use ECC memory? They're depending on single-bit registration still? What got me to thinking is this article on ars... <http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2009/10/dram-study-turns-assumptions-about-errors-upside-down.ars> - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
