Hi Stephan,

	I had read that from the memtest86 website also. The bios 
settings I am trying now have let the machine run for 16 hours. Hey, 
that's really good at this point :-) Once I am sure of everything I will 
post the results and settings in hope that it will help someone else.

Thanks,

Jim
