[Sunhelp] E4500 memory question

[jwh2 at cornell.edu]

Hi,
	I have 5 systems with the potentially "bad cache" CPU board and I have 
onely seen one crash as a result (yes I'm knocknig on wood currently).  
There are also fixes in the kernel patches for at least Solaris 2.6 that 
I know of right off to deal with this, I assume that Solaris 7&8 either have 
the same fix or will have very soon now.
