That's good news.
I guess memory can "wear out", but hopefully the memory wasn't damaged
by some fault in the motherboard or power. I hope your new memory is
safe.

When there's a problem, the hardware guys blame software, and the

Not dead, but just injured.
Replaced two 312M RAM cards with one faster 2G RAM card.
Old RAM defective; tech told me that its speed was actually mismatched to
the rest of the system, slowing it down. Of course "defective" was the
crucial issue, not speed.

I know this sounds odd, but I had memory errors galore which were
solved by a new power supply.

Chimaera didn't help, though the symptoms changed.
I booted from the chimaera live desktop, and it started looking hopeful,
but before much was running it had a kernel panic -- attempt to kill init.
Yes, I checked the checksum on the download.
And when I used chimaera to boot another computer (a Pu
