I used to worry a great deal about that -- starting, actually, with Intel's first "Triton" (430FX) series of motherboard chipsets, the first to omit parity RAM support, back around '94-95. But as I continued to use Linux and BSD on such units, I kept noticing that it just doesn't happen. Anyway, you pays your money, and you takes your chances. ;-> _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
