| subject: | Dead Parity Skit |
Hi, Could someone tell me why parity checking has been dropped from bios? I still have an award 486 bios which has parity on the dram. Isn't parity checking still something that's needed? If not then why did it seem so important for so many years. I can't count the times a parity error would stop the system dead only to find a lifted dram or so. Mike **** ...
