I have belatedly started reading this thread, and I am mystified as to what is meant by "broken" hardware (which I take it is shipped that way?), with regard to memory. What exactly is broken? Do some cheapo motherboards use specific chips that are bad at managing memory? I guess what I'm asking is if this problem is well-defined, and, if so, some pointers on further information would greatly be appreci- ated. (My quick perusal of HARDWARE.TXT produced nothing.) Thanks! --Rich [P.S. -- Just occurred to me, maybe this should be posted to -hardware?] ======================================== Richard J.
