The MCE could just as easily be read as: NB means not IC/DC/BU => actual RAM. Given that real world figures show bad RAM to be a lot more likely that a bad CPU I'd start by looking at the dimms (or at the very least not exclude it...). > I do just note that there's "No DIMM found for ... in SMBIOS", but I > assume that's just a bank that's not filled. or the SMBIOS data is borked, wouldn't be the first time... /Peter
