Let's compare this to coins... head/tail, head is favored while tail is undesired. For single stick, it's like one coin: 50% possibility for defective... For two stick, it's like having two coins: head head tail tail head tail tail head 25% possibility that both are working, 25% possibility that both are defective and 50% possibility that either one of them is defective. Summing them up, you have 75% possibility of getting unfavored result, thus giving you headache figuring out where the problem is. ACTUAL figure differ on memory stick since the actual probability is not 50%, I only use 50% for analogy in coins... Regards/ Jerome _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
