There doesn't appear to be any bulging caps. In fact, I tested the DIMMs on a different PC and memtest confirmed their faultiness. Garrett Cooper wrote: On Fri, 27 Jan 2006, Philip Juels wrote: Curious...the system is a Dell Optiplex GX270...RAM system is PC3200 2x512MB DIMMs in a the

I switched the DIMMs from dual-channel to single-channel and so far (up to test 4) I get no errors. Go figure. Philip Juels wrote: As of now, memtests 2,3, and 4 fail (waiting for the rest). The following bits are listed as Err-Bits (1000,8000,2000). The chipset is Intel
