Re: 7.1 ... wtf?

Hi Thomas,

I assume you run on an Asus CUR-DLS. (I't the only Asus dual p3 board that
supports R-ECC that I know of)

We run 7.1 on a CUR-DLS with 2 p3-800 cpu's with 512 Mb R-ECC, and we have
not experienced anything like this. But we had a broken CUR-DLS once, so
maybe that's something to look at... We run on Linux here (RedHat 6.2 +
updates)
