I talked with a friend who's been using a lot of Thunder T8WE boards
with dual opterons for structural engineering systems software, he says ...
They are VERY PICKY about memory, I have learned. Do *NOT*, I
repeat, do *NOT* cheap out
on your memory.
I have hosed a perfectly good system that took almost a week of
troubleshooting due to
sh**ty memory corrupting the raid
We now only buy memory that is certified for Supermicro and Tyan
systems. It doesn't
cost a whole lot more then the cheap stuff.
memtest might not catch issues that are multiprocessor related.
