And even then many people have memtest86 pass and then after more prodding and trying half the memory at a time in their system, they discover that the problem only occours when one specific memory stick is installed. memtest86 catches some errors, but far from all errors. A good kernel compile or something else memory/cpu/disk intensive is usually the best way to see if a system is actually stable or not. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
