I used to buy cheaper memory all the time (eBay, etc..) but after having so
many issues I just buy the good stuff when its on sale at newegg.com or
amazon... Kingston usually. I am running a 2400+ as well :-)

Subject: Re: Weird PC Error - Part II
A friend introduced me to this application at the weekend...

I've just bought myself a shiny new gigabyte m/b, amd 2400+ processor,
CPU fan, power supply and 512mb of 400DDR memory.
Despite all the new kit, the damn thing kept crashing. I thought it was
the video card. My friend came around at the weekend to help me solve
the issue. First thing he suggested doing was checking the memory with
a disk he'd created earlier. He rebooted my PC, booted off the floppy
and ran the extended tests and hey presto up came an error on about the
7th test. Quick replace of the memory with some known good memory and
problem solved! All I've got to do now is go and get the shop to replace
it. Never have I had such an easy time with diagnosing a hardware issue.
