Single-bit corrected errors

I've been moving disk drives (DVD and HDD) around and upgrading OS
(SuSE 9.0 to 10.0) over the past couple of days. In the process
I've been playing with BIOS to get the drives ordered the way I
wanted (and figure out who listens to BIOS drive ordering ;).
While trying to figure out some strangeness I cleaned out the BIOS
messages area. Last night I kept getting beeps (about one an
hour). It took a while to isolate it, but finally looked at the
hardware error report in the setup screens. Seems I've been
getting a corrected single-bit error in the same location on
average about once an hour. I guess ECC actually does something.
;-)
....now to figure out which stick is faulty (it's all Crucial, with
a lifetime warranty ;-). If everything is right in the world the
error report _should_ point me to it. All I need is the Rosetta
stone.
