See, I thought they might have been stealing ram (a la SRM) for the FB,
but if none exists...

Next thoughts are anything else that can move and / or is plugged into a
core bus (possible shorting {?bus} card?), the "cmos" battery (as it were
[NVRAM]), and finally temperature.

and to think I type this and every email on a machine running on KNOWN
FLAKEY RAM... :) (on, but the mail stuff doesn't run on it :)

head          up 138+21:07,     0 users,  load 0.02, 0.03, 0.00
spaz          up 138+21:29,     1 user,   load 1.02, 1.04, 1.00

ph33r. :)
