BTW, Clarence, I, we, all of us, have neglected to mention one
important utility for NT, namely DOS. If you can't boot DOS,
you are walking the high wire without a net. You can't even
flash your bios.

An alternative is win 95 or 98, as these systems can also
boot to a pure dos prompt (they have advanced DOS versions,
too). NT can't, though. Actually, NT COULD include a version
of DOS, and it should (since you can't do certain basics
without it), but it doesn't.

Pretty silly, huh? Are you sorry yet? NOW they tell me ...

Remember, with BX chipset all you need is parity memory to get ECC--you don't need "ECC memory" per se, which is more expensive and exotic than simple parity memory (which, in turn, is more expensive than non-parity memory.)
