Re: Windows XP meltdown

I had a memory chip fault develop in my desktop machine. Apart from the error message (no idea what gave it), there were no apparent problems. I downloaded the MS memory tester (has to be run from a floppy) and it confirmed that chip 2 was seriously ill.

I replaced the chip, and the error report went away.

But the machine worked just fine, anyway. Does XP Pro have some form of fault-tolerance built in?
