Could you guys post what kind of memory (brand and part no. if possible)    
you are using? I'm planning to purchase a dual Opteron setup in the
not-to-distant future and was hoping to avoid the kind of (unpleasant) 
memory experiences that I had with my early Athlon MP systems (apparent
compatibilty issues, esp. with registered ECC modules).

Bob
