[OpenIndiana-discuss] Building a machine

[Scott O'Brien]

Wow thanks for all the replies.  The DH67CF looks perfect.  A few more
silly questions though, if I do a memory test before installing am I
right to use this considering it's non-ecc?  I'd still be backing my
important data up to cd once a month.  Second question is about
installing, is it considered bad practice to install the os on the
same raid pool as your data?  If so is there any pci-e sata
controllers anyone can recommend?

Thanks once again,

Scott o
