My apologize, but I don't have the time to read everything. I read that you get errors when running Memtest. Do you have issues using the computer?
Did you run Memtest from different distros (live media)? I never have issues when using my computer. If I run the same version of Memtest from a Parted Magic media everything is ok, but if I run it (again same version!) from Ubuntu Studio Quantal, I get errors. I experienced it very often that Memtest claims something is broken, when nothing is broken. IMO Memtest is bad software. I don't have issues with the RAM, excepted of new Linux, that can't access all 4GB when using 64-bit kernels, everything is ok. If you should experience that a 64-bit kernel is unable to access the whole memory, test what happens when using a 32-bit PAE and check BIOS settings. Resume: If you don' have issues using your computer, complete RAM or at least enough RAM should be accessible and you use the computer several hours a day, don't turn it off for several days, but nothing bad happens, I wouldn't take care abut Memtest's claims. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
