Memtest86 - bad mem or not?

[R. Quenett]

mutilated misquotes 
from Michael Hipp's 10 Apr 2004 classic prose
may follow:

" I've a client box that is getting random but frequent crashes. Yesterday 
" Memtest86 showed 20+ errors at 16MB on pass #3 and #5 but then ran 
" another 14 passes with no errors. Another mem test program showed no 
" errors. This morning I ran Memtest for 6 hours and 32 passes with 0 errors.

I have seen this sort of thing once.  Finally, I reset cas latency in 
the bios from 2 to 3 and the problem went away.

"Gold needs no endorsement. It can be tested with scales and
acids. The recipient of gold does not have to trust the government
stamp upon it, if he does not trust the government that stamped it.
No act of faith is called for when gold is used in payments, and
no compulsion is required." -Benjamin M. Anderson
