Re: [newbie] Testing for bad RAM
Actually RAM Stress Test is able to correctly identify bad modules better than Quick Tech Pro. This is a 35 K program that was originally shareware until the owners figured out that it is better than using a $25,000 darkhorse tester ;-) Micron even tried to purchase the code because they realized that compatibililty of memory modules and timing can also be tested with RST. http://www.uxd.com I've used RST for several years - and have been able to stop all DOA shipments of RAM (company I worked for shipped GB of memory daily plus built systems with GB of memory.).

Re: [newbie] Testing for bad RAM
Sorry, I respectfully disagree with some of this. A techs time is too expensive to go through BIOS settings. Always stick with the BIOS defaults. Period. DO NOT make changes to your BIOS. Plus simplify the testing process. Keep the BIOS at default. Use RST - and OS independent tester - which will test compatibility issues for the complete system as well as locate any bad memory modules. In less than 3 minutes you will know if the memory is bad. http://www.uxd.com Don't waste your time swapping and pulling etc. Just get the program and be happy.(No, I'm not affiliated with Ultra-X. I just happen to use the program) On Wed, 21 Feb 2001, you wrote: ##On Wednesday 21 February 2001 02:24 pm, Heather wrote: ## On this subject of RAM incompatibility... ## ## I have a stick of RAM that someone gave me to boost me up past 64mb. ## When I first installed it it would do ok, but then it would get where ## sometimes it would show on boot up and others it wouldn't then (in ## evil windows since i haven't put it back after installing LM) my ## computer started popping up more errors and illegals than it ever had ## before.

Re: [newbie] Testing for bad RAM
256 MB sticks are especially tricky in terms of timings and quality. It isn't surprising to find 256 MB modules fail on one board and pass on another brand. Almost all of the original Corsair 256 MB modules failed after a few months of operation. This qualty issue was common with many other brands too. n Wed, 21 Feb 2001, you wrote: Naa, I can't believe this, I have a 256 stick that crashed three computers ##continuously and it counted up in the bios just fine in all three.

The terminology is major on third and major on major. Crucial is a major brand which places their chips on a major PCB. Wintec is a company which places major chips on a 'third party' PCB.

[newbie] Tomcat Apache (Suggestions Please)
This question is in regards to designing the best system for operating Tomcat and Apache on an LM 7.2 box. The knowns: First, the peak number of users is 2000 users in one night. Second, the hardware needs to be an Athlon system. Third, the hard drive must be a SCSI 40 GB. HOW would you design this system for the best performance so that every user who visits the site is quickly and properly served. Assumptions: The more RAM the better. Adaptec's SCSI 29160 Athlon 1.1 GHz ASUS A7V Has anyone tried a system similar to this? Any known issues or problems? In terms of the distribution :-) How much tweaking is going to be required to get this system PERFECT? Will all of the dependencies work out of the distro box? Will all of the drivers be present? Should the Kernel be moved to 2.4.0 before deploying the server? Apache in the 7.2 distro is optimized by SGI - any hiccups from these code changes between Apache and Tomcat? Do you see anything MAJORLY wrong with designing a system around Tomcat and Apache using LM 7.2? ___ Layne P.
