Brief note; looks like my T61p is headed to the factory in the next couple of days for a motherboard replacement. From reading the forums, apparently some ThinkPad models T60 and up run into a problem when utilizing both DRAM sockets that causes memory corruption. I suspect it has to do with Dual-Channel memory mode. But for whatever reason, MemTest86+ now shows memory errors when utilizing both DRAM sticks, but no errors when using only one. Another hint that it wasn't a problem with a particular DRAM stick was that the same memory locations came up as a problem in MemTest86+ after switching DRAM sticks around between slots. From reading the forums, it's a known problem that is fixed with a motherboard replacement.
Just wanted to mention it in case some of you are running the T60 series and up with only one DRAM stick. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Jan 7 - Ruby on Rails Feb 4 - TBD
