Huh? Above, you say "2 quad core proc" - that's 8 cores over two processor
chips. HT support doesn't figure into it; if you use dmidecode or lshw, I
believe it will show you 8 cores, not 16.

Each processor will directly see the DIMMs associate with it, so that the
banks associated with each processor will be what directly affects the
cores. So, if you see something like
Mar 20 05:01:35 <system name> kernel:  Northbridge Error, node 0, core: 5
(these processors are 8-core), it means that one of the DIMMs in bank 0,
0-3, is bad.
You should see
       __
      |_0|  0 1 2 3
                 __
                |_1|  0 1 2 3

or whatever on the m/b, so one of the top ones there is affected. Is that
any clearer?
