The chip was bad. I replaced with an another 512 MB, so that now the
hardware configuration is:
256 MB upper slot high profile, correctly seen as 256;
512 MB bottom slot, seen, of course, as 256.
For a total of 512 MB without searching for the expensive and hard to
find 256 128 x 16 Mb card.
It it possible that this configuration does not like virtual memory
and therefore also OS X.
I experience crashes on OS X (10.2.8) and on OS 9 (9.2.2.) with VM
on, absolutely flawless with VM off.

Maybe, but when you turn on virtual memory, the OS basically starts using
the hard drive to map out memory pages that are inactive. What kind of hard
drive do you have and how long did you have it?
12 GIG IBM 4 years old. I have a spare 40 GIG I will give a try.

Yes, but the same system (WS with blue chip 500 MHz) with 384 MB RAM
is absolutely flawless.

This might be a good way to find out whether the memory or the hard drive is
bad...
