Gents, and the honorable, vivacious young lady who frequently visits
these parts,

While I was installing SuSE 11.0 I saw an option, Firmware Test, so
after I was done and monkeying around I decided to run it.  Voila! I had
a problem.  
Test results:  3 fail, 4 warn, 12 pass, 19 total.
F--  The memory map has a memory hole between 15Mb & 16 Mb

F--  DMI information check.  No SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found.

F--  HPET Configuration test failed to locate HPET base.

Are these failures reparable with BIOS settings or some other cheap
procedure?  Do I continue to live with them or am I out big bucks for a
processor?

Awaiting all of your responses, and thank you,
Bob
