Hi,
Without 1) openning the box, or 2) rebooting (really it's 1), but...)
is there an easy way to tell whether a machine has ECC RAM or not?
Thanks a zillion,

Yes, Get the Linux ECC module from here: http://www.anime.net/~goemon/linux-ecc/ Follow the build and insmod instructions then you can do: cat /proc/ram and this will tell you something like this if you have ECC ram and if the board is ECC capable (and if ECC is enabled in the BIOS...). cat /proc/ram Chipset ECC capability : ECC detection and correction Current ECC mode : ECC detection and correction Bank Size Type ECC SBE MBE 0 128M SDR Y 0 0 Total 128M Matt
