    This is very interresting. I have a gigabyte X48 board, and everything
    works perfect, however, in memtest86+ i get thousands of errors in the
    range 0-0.9mb. I am certain my ram is fine, i've tried it in other
    computers, and reversed. I've run dozens of stress tests within my
    booted linux, no trouble, also the userspace memtester (allthough im
    aware it wont actually ever get to grab offending addresses).

    Any thoughts?
