	That's precisely what I did. I'm sure the last time you had mce problems, you 
knew right off the bat that it was the motherboard, not the memory, not the 
memory controller, not the software that CAN incorrectly flag mces, not the 
video hardware or driver, etc.... I tore every piece of hardware apart on this 
machine. Surely you're not saying I ignored the possibility it was hardware, 
are you?

	The devs were right this time and I graciously told them so. See: 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=376165. However, that it not always 
the case as we learned in spades pulling back the ugly cover on the mce error 
reporting scheme.
