In my case it's a SuperMicro H8DA3-2 with two Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm)
Processor 2378 CPUs.  Would edac work here?

It looks like I have not received a new mcelog entry..  Either that or I
somehow disabled it a while ago and the mcelog upgrade didn't re-enable
what I did.  (Of course I don't remember what I did, and didn't log
it..)  *sigh*
