So I guess, I do have to go for ECC ram when I build a new server. I also understood that like you wrote "The P45 based boards are a no-brainer" Intel MoBo's are a no-go when you want ECC ram -and- want it a little cheap. So, what -is- a really good MB that supports ECC ram (min.8MB) and what processor is recommended? -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: 01D2433D + http://nagual.nl/ | SunOS sxce snv101 ++ + All that's really worth doing is what we do for others (Lewis Carrol) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
