[sf-lug] Memory(dram) may cause some problems

[Bobbie Sellers]

My friend Odd,
     a system administrator in Norway sent me this URL
for an article,
<http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/computing/hardware/intel-and-micron-announce-revolutionary-memory>

     I remember back a bit when we learned that our Amiga and Windows 
memory
simms had to be carefully matched to avoid timing problems, I think Unix 
handled
that better but the original information is lost to me,  Linus might 
have been working
on Linux but no idea.
     Anyhow the information about dram being less reliable than we were 
lead to believe
was developed when operations using large amount of dram were surveyed as to
the cause of failures.
