[Tfug] mobo update

[John Gruenenfelder]

I RMA'd my ECS K7S5A motherboard and got the replacement on Friday.  If you
recall, I was getting many many ERR interrupts and the machine would randomly
crash, usually under heavy memory load.

Well, the new mobo is getting errors still, but at about 10% the previous
rate.  That's better, and it's not crashing, but it still shouldn't be getting
any.

However, the machine is now stable.  Previously, I would run 'burnMMX J' to
stress the memory (with 1MB test size) and the machine would crash in 5-30
seconds.  Now I've run it for over 40 minutes without any crashing.

So... at least it's usable now.  And if previous experience holds, once I get
some DDR memory, the error rate should drop by another factor of 100.  Yay.
