Unfortunately I don't know and as far as I know I'd have to shut down 
the server to find out.

Here's what I do know... we buy the servers populated with ram, by 
ServersDirect, a rather well-known and respected provider.  When we 
need more memory, we buy it from them as well.

This is the first time we've ever had a problem that could relate to 
memory, in about eight years of using these servers.

(Only three servers total have been taken out of failure because of 
hardware issues, over that time.)

I'll discuss it with their service department on Monday.

Thanks!

Jeff
