The exact machine error is a "660 Machine Check," which from my searching indicates a memory error. Can anyone verify this, and if so is there any way to determine if the problem is board-related or memory-related without swapping the RAM around? I don't have too many EDO ECC SIMMs laying around. Also, is there any place (besides ebay) to find something like a UP1000 Alpha motherboard for a reasonable price?
