humorous and true story. The Big Mac system at Virginia Tech could tell you if it was day or night. There was a dramatic increase in memory error rates during the day. I saw a very nice graph showing the effect. Seems the earth is a pretty good shield for nasty high energy particles from our local light source :-) So just run it as a server at night and you may be fine! ron
