Hey folks,

I found this in /var/adm/messages (after my pager went off at the time
noted on the snipped).  I pulled RAM and isolated the bad one, but what
I'm wondering is if the information below is sufficient to determine,
without random RAM pulling, what DIMM slot the bad chips are in:

Yanking DIMMs was no fun at 3am, half drunk no less!
