Since it wasn't mentioned in this update, I assume the memory parity problem from last week remains?

Near the end I mention that the parity errors from last week have disappeared. There's no obvious reason for them to go away, but memory appears to be working okay now.

Oh, I missed that sentence, thanks! Since it was such a big part of last week's debug, I thought there'd be more followup coverage.

Problems which go away alone tend to come back alone, so maybe a followup comes next week :)

That's a relief, I was really worried about that.
