[ Article reposted from comp.os.linux.hardware ] [ Author was David Manchester ] [ Posted on 1 May 1996 06:40:09 GMT ] Greetings - our computer club is on the cusp of buying a iP5 system. I have assembled a P5-133 recently and the vendor assured me that 70ns SIMMs were ok with it, but all the literature I have read suggests that 60ns RAM is more or less mandatory for a 66MHz external clock speed for Pentia such as the 100 / 133 / 166. Our kernel-gurus have suggested that the new-ish GCC stuff does parallel-compiles that really hammer the memory hard... Can we get away with running Linux / GCC, etc on a p5-133 with 70ns, or will we get nasty errors??? Thanx for any response /dave -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | David Manchester <mustang@tartarus.uwa.edu.au> | " Get A Dog Up Ya!
