Perry,

Its even worse. On one mtbd; the BIOS had a menu for enabling ECC; I did. But reading the register from the chipset revealed nothing was actually enabled in the hardware. You have to be paranoid in this business. This was a "bleeding edge" mtbd, with a low revision BIOS of course. The fu being that a car manufacturer ran a cluster of these for several months doing crash worthiness simulations ...

rather annoying. Thus my question.
