Fixing inconsistent RAM detection

I have two identical 1Gb RAM chips installed, and they are not always

session, and then what is detected at next reboot is an
adventure/uncertain.
Try cleaning the RAM contacts with a clean pencil eraser. Hopefully that
would take care of it. Don't use other cleaners until you try the eraser
trick first. As this one seems to last the longest.
