Define critical. It's saying that your system is working 100% normal, but that there's something iffie about the DIMM. Everything becomes critical if you get carried away. > Your ECC memory is saying that it has detected error rate going up and the > DIMM can no longer ensure integrity of its contents. That's not entirely true. It's just as able to ensure integrity as it was before this warning came up; it's entirely unable to *ensure* integrity. It's saying that it's corrected more single bit errors than it thinks appropriate. But it is saying that it's correcting them, and nothing bad has happened as a result. > I'd go ahead and quickly replace that faulty DIMM!
