An acceptable number of errors is about 1 error per pass. 2 is pushing it.

My computer has had some bizzare symptoms for quite some time now, and I finally ran memtest86 from the livecd, and was wondering if anyone could help me understand what the diagnosis is.
There were definately errors that popped up; say a page and a half of them. (and here's the stupid question part) does this mean I need to drop $60 on a new PC3200 stick? Is there an acceptable level of error?
I've been assuming that the random crashes (usually only happens in Windows, but *sometimes* Gentoo will develop some tics) were heat problems or buggy software; but now I'm not so sure.
Any help would be appreciated.
