SRAM (static RAM) is really only used for cache and for tiny registers, higyh speed buffers, and such. All modern systems use DRAM for main memory, with the exception perhaps of a very small embedded system. Squeezebox uses DRAM, (specifically SDRAM) which is a *completely* different thing from SRAM (The S stands for synchronous, not static). Anyway, all that is beside the point. Snarly only pointed it out because it shows that you're really not familiar with memory enough to be credible (sorry). You are mistaken if you think a computer could function with bad memory in such a way that it could output the "occasional bad bit". It just doesn't work like that! -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32993 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
