Maybe I spoke too soon Alan, my logs are being flooded with
some sort of an error message that looks like it may be memory
related. There's a pair of half giggers in here, running at 333 fsb,
but they are supposedly rated for a 400 mhz fsb. Thats presumably
because I have turned on the MCE stuffs.

And I've not seen that before. Does it have a simple and correct answer?

This memory was abused by memtest86 for about 18 hours before I rebooted
and started changing things around because it was a new motherboard
and video card, back in the spring. No errors were reported then.

Should I worry or just shut that stuff back off?
