Also your BIOS should have a setting to configure whether a 1-bit error causes an NMI. The last time this subject came up, some folks wanted to use the BIOS (which should understand the chipset on that motherboard) to retrieve this information rather than build knowledge of specific chipsets into the kernel. On an unrelated thread, someone mentioned that there were some unresolved issues with rearming NMI. I would very much like to have this feature, however it might be implemented.
