[geeks] RAID levels

[Joshua Fielden]

72-pin, True Parity SIMMS.

Prolly invalidates your warranty, caveat emptor, I didn't put the gun to your head that made you do it, etc, etc. ;)

Take the smaller SIMMS out (it's obvious which they are), that's the 16MB OS memory. Move the larger SIMMS to their slot because, well, why not? Install 2x32MB TP SIMMS, enjoy 40% better performance on most RAID 5 writes. (benchmarked, YMMV)

We're doing that with a bunch of A-1's we got from the Webvan auction in a couple weeks, in fact.
