I'd drop the part about memory testers since that will just generate more e-mail from people who's busted systems pass their favorite memory tester. The only time memory testers tell you anything is if they find an error. Otherwise all you know is that the patterns they used didn't trigger an error which isn't at all the same as knowing that the memory is good. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
