 FWIW the FB-DIMMs are 1GB PC5300 modules manufactured by Samsung but I
don't have the model number at hand (but I could look it up).

 Thanks for the link! I didn't find anything as detailed about IDTAMB0480
though, all I could find was this:

Astonishingly, at least to me, the max temperature for these things seems
to be 124C: see page 12 of the above link or section 3.3.1 at page 25 of
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/designex/31306603.pdf

 Do I really understand this correctly? Or should it be divided by 2?

 I'll read Intel datasheets a bit more tonight, I'm sure they're ideal
bed-side reading ;-)
