What are you using to test the RAM? Most software RAM testers aren't worth the disks they are stored on. The best test is to just use it. If you get random crashes then you have bad RAM. If your machine is stable then your RAM is OK. Just because a DIMM fails some RAM test software does not mean it's bad. I have bought 4 128 meg DIMMS and a couple of 64 meg DIMMS from Velocity in the past and all work fine. I never bothered to "test" them - they run OS X every day so I know they are OK! Truly bad RAM is very rare. I remember all the threads here about a year or so ago when everyone was buying RAM from Velocity. Because it was so cheap, everyone was "testing" it with some test software whose name I can't recall. I was astonished at the amount of "bad RAM" people were finding. My advice at the time was to just use the RAM and see if any real problems develop, but few people wanted to do that. The "RAM test" software indicated bad RAM, and that's all they wanted to know. OTOH, if you have tested the RAM by having a crashing machine become stable after removing a DIMM, then disregard the above!
