I'd argue that memory and video are the cheepest part of your system. That
aside, it takes *nothing* to temporarily swap out these two high offending
items.
You can, as you know, run all the tests known to god and humans, and still
these buggers bite you. A quick swapout *either* fixes the problem,
permanently, or it's on to other things that take a little longer than the 5
minutes to do the obvious. Swap them out. Less pain, all gain.
