[NTLUG:Discuss] Memtest86 and CPU cache

Not exactly Linux-related, but is anyone familiar with memtest86?  When 
I run it on one particular box, it gives an error every time for the 
same address range, no matter what memory stick(s) are in it or what 
order they're in.  The address range is fairly close to zero - at around 
6MB out of 768MB.  Is this indicating that the CPU (cache) is bad?  I 
know there's not 6MB of cache, but the fact that it's always the same 
address range is strange.
