As of now, memtests 2,3, and 4 fail (waiting for the rest). The following bits are listed as "Err-Bits" (00001000,00008000,00002000). The chipset is Intel i848/i865. I may install the DIMMs into another machine and memtest them there. Billy Tallis wrote: >It might be as simple as the bios settings.
