I have run memtest86+ for days at a time on both systems with no errors at all.
broken hardware i guess, i am not surprised about the abit board, ive
had nothing but trouble with abit motherboards and do not use them any
more, but the supermicro is a xeon server board and i was using
kingston ram, i wouldnt expect that to have issues.
latest bios on both.
