Marktime: Those Pre-april boards (given as freebies) were damn
sensisive to memory types. I surely hope that any future systems don't
have this kind of hassle in them. Or if they do, manufacturers of the
system must start deliverim tested Dimm modules alongside boards.
Biggest problem with 'tested' memory-types is that most people don't
remember to write down (or check) chip types from simm modules. Same
simm module may be manufactured with different Ram chips. Brands are
not compatible nor are all manufaturing lots 100% identical. On normal
well.behaving memory controller this ain't usually much of an problem.
Anyhow.. it's hopefully soon becoming history.
