Thank You.  I couldn't get the mersenne.org program to run on my RHEL ES 3 
though.  From what I read, it won't run on that right now and I really 
didn't want to have to reformat the system....yet.  Thanks for the memtest 
though.  It had been so long since I had to do any of these tests that I 
forgot which ones to use for what.  I am in the process of moving and most 
of my programs are packed up so I didn't have them to look through.

Thanks
Steve
