This looks to be a CPU cache memory error that is correctable. I have
a quad-core with one core giving correctable cache errors. Turning
the core off reduces my net performance significantly so instead I
turned off MCE errors (besides, they were crapping all over my xterms).
Your call as to whether your work is critical enough to replace the
CPU. Good excuse to tell your SO you have to upgrade ;D

Thanks. This is a brand new Dell machine (1 week old). Looking around
on the web, I see many others with the issue. One person reported
that Dell was infuriatingly no help (surprise!), claiming these are "false
positive" errors. I'm moving to China in 3 weeks and have little time
to pursue this with Dell. But I want to avoid my laptop dying in China,
so I'm really not sure what to do.
Sounds like you are in a time squeeze. I'd contact Dell and demand a
new CPU. You can't really afford to have your machine choke on the road.
Best of luck.
