Hi everybody!

After the memtest gave me so many errors, I decided to buy a new
(Vista) computer. It hasn't crashed.

I certainly learned a lof from the experience.

When you decide you don't like Vista, you're always
welcome to come back and get more help to replace
the RAM in your current computer :-)

The tread on my tires is too low. I think I'll purchase a new car...

What a "lof"...

Hello to All:

Since we never received a definitive description of Richard's system,
he might have just replaced a P2-600 for all we know. However, at
some later time, the old system /might/ be made operational (if
economical) and turned into a nifty Linux based server.

Warm regards to all,

Pete

If you're in the US how about sending me your other PC and I'll get new
memory for it. I'll even pay the shipping and it will still cost me far
less than purchasing a new PC.

Well if was a P2-600 ...... it was time for a new computer.

One thing that could have been checked was the timing for the ram chips
(RAS, CAS.......) I have Corsair memory and they spec some very low numbers
for timing, I set in BIOS those settings and ran my computer and it seeemed
to work fine. Then I ran memtest 86+ and it failed some of the tests so I
went back into BIOS and icreased the first number from 2 to 2.5, them reran
the memtest program. The failed tests were gone and everything has been
running fine since then.
