Oddly, that FAQ fails to mention the single best tool for detecting these problems: http://www.memtest86.com/ Get this and run it. It's a boot image, so if you don't have a Linux installation (LILO and GRUB can run it just like a kernel) or a floppy, you may have to do some gymnastics. Leave it running overnight and see what you find. You'd be amazed at the number of "working" machines in the world have slightly bad RAM. One of my boxes, which seems perfectly stable, gets about 1 error every 10 hours. If you see any more than that, consider replacing your memory or motherboard. Andy -- Andrew J.
