One of my computers has been crashing unexpectedly on
occasion. I ran Memtest86, and there are some errors,
though they did not show up on the first pass.

Removal of RAM is the traditional way to correct such
errors. However, I understand that when all such
errors occur within a rather small range of addresses,
as in this case, Linux can be instructed not to use
these addresses. Can anyone refer me to sources of
information on this?
