Eight Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII We are purchasing a pentium 100MHZ PC to speed up our runs using Hyperchem and Gaussian 92W/DFT. I was alerted by several people that many of the newer PCs use 8 bit SIMMs now. I've gotten differing opinions on whether parity checking is needed. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with an informed opinion as to the risks (no pun) involved. Hypercube and Gaussian boffins especially welcome. Thanks, Paul Friedman E-mail pfriedma "-at-" acnet.pratt.edu
