[pchelpers] Re: Fried RAM update

Hi Tim

This is my first encounter with RAMs frying in a
system board too. <g>

Yeah reminded me of the lifetime warranty of
tupperware. Similar to Craftman's, pick up a broken
piece of tupperware from your neighbor's garden and
get a brand new piece at the next tupperware party!
Hey, I gotta go scavenging around the office for bad
RAMs to exchange for new ones! <G>
