Bill. Under XP, I have a stick of ram that I know is bad ! It doesn't find it ! However if I boot with a win98 floppy it tells me that I have bad ram at address XYZ !! Memtest always gives me the same address for the bad bits ! Oddly enough XP doesn't crash when that stick is in place, but win98 on the same machine always does !! Linux always refuses to run when that stick is in there as well. That behaviour confused the hell out of me when it first happened !! Now I use it as a test piece.!!!! -- Best Regards: Derrick.
