> Nancy- I think 5000 is the number that was bantered around as being relatively safe. I think it's also a good idea to use a stripped down set of extensions to lessen the amount of ram the System uses. On the advice of the venerable Jeff Walther, Will S, and others I tested my ram using supposed good 32 M DIMMS on either side of my velocity 128s. The System (9.1) took up about 25 megs so I figured all of the 256 megs sandwiched would be tested. Never an error message with well over 5-6000 passes. You should not get errors. That's bad.
