When booting muta today, I noticed this in the console in dmesg from boot: ``` Memory Ranges: 0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size 1024 MB 1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001ffdfffff Size 4094 MB 2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size 3072 MB Total Memory: 8190 MB PDT: type PDT_PAT_NEW, size 3000, entries 6, status 0, dbe_loc 0x2a51dc00, good_mem 0 MB PDT: Firmware reports 6 entries of faulty memory: PDT: BAD MEMORY at 0x2a51dc00, DIMM slot 2a, permanent multi-bit error.

Please provide a part number for replacement RAM, so that the Trustees can purchase it.
