Subject: MCE going wild, 14 megs of this in the logs

Greetings;
Mar 30 16:46:42 coyote kernel: [469249.031832] MCE: The hardware reports a non 
fatal, correctable incident occurred on CPU 0.

Its always the same 2 addresses reported, and every 15 seconds.  So I have the 
non-fatal part of MCE now turned off, & 2.6.24.4 rebuilding.

I saw this once before, and a nearly round the clock run of memtest86 gave my 
memory a clean bill.  Processor is an XP-2800, biostar mainboard with NForce2 
chipset.  Is this possibly a known artifact of this hardware?
