Thanks. I didn't realise it was only 32 bit athlons only.

Any idea what EDAC modules 64 bit Athlon 64s should use? Under RHEL the 
k8_edac module provides ECC checking, but this module no longer exists as 
far as I can tell in Fedora 10.

I seems strange that Fedora doesn't support ECC on AMD systems, but RHEL 
does!
