In that spirit, I'll reply to another message from this thread here, instead of in a separate message: I said you could use ECC RAM with Athlon64, and someone said you have to use ECC RAM with Opteron. (Both of those things are true.) My point was that if you wanted a server with ECC RAM to prevent crashes due to cosmic rays, you don't need an Opteron, because Athlon64 (even the socket 754 version) can use ECC RAM. i.e. ECC RAM doesn't require Opteron. > Mind you, this is a Debian AMD64 list and not some hardware discussion > forum!!! I thought AMD64 was such a new architecture that a lot of people are just getting them, and so on. Maybe people should be reading linuxhardware.org or something, but I think it's better for people to post here and get steered towards good hardware (with Free drivers when possible) than for them to go out and buy bad stuff (esp. ATI Radeon > 9200) and then ask how to make it work with Debian :( I think it would be good if an official Debian person would weigh in with a comment on where to draw the line in terms of threads going off on tangents about hardware (or even being purely about hardware in the first place)... -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X(peter@cor , des.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
