I actually had bad RAM that passed a memtest86. Of course, I only had it on normal tests and not the full tests. Possibly memtest86 also misses certain types of bad RAM, as it doesn't provide a "real-world" model of testing (I believe it's a linear test from beginning to end of memory). All I know is that with one stick of RAM in my machine, it kept randomly locking up and certain apps would crash, and with a different stick, nothing has crashed in months. -- CAUTION: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
