Before you start pulling RAM sticks, get a copy of RAM Check 2.1, and let it run overnight on your 9600. It tests a higher portion of your RAM than any other utility. You need to set RAM Check's memory partition above the amount of your installed RAM. In your case with 848 MB RAM, you might set the memory partition at 900,000 K. Be sure to get RAM Check 2.1, and not 2.0, which had some bugs.
You could also download and install a copy of MacsBug. Whenever your Mac crashes, it will drop into MacsBug. When you type "stdlog" without the quotes, it will give you a readout of the status at the moment of the crash, which you can examine using the arrow keys. In my case, I find that Internet Explorer is usually implicated in my crashes, because the log more often than not reports that the Internet Explorer heap is bad.
Hope this helps.

Address errors are usually the program trying to access a non-existent memory address. You may want to check all your memory. This can be tedious. But I would pull all the memory and reinsert one by one until you have the errors comeback.
