   That would suck.  Perhaps I should call Compaq.  However, I'm
not sure how much they'll care when I tell them "Memtest86+, a
free memory testing program I'm using, says that ECC is Off for
my 1850R.  It is said to require ECC memory, and it has such.
(compaq part # blah blah).  How do I fix it?"  I'm sure "you're
software is wrong" will be the first answer.  :-/
