Curious...the system is a Dell Optiplex GX270...RAM system is PC3200 2x512MB DIMMs in a the dual-channel arrangment. If I run memtest against this setup, I get numerous errors. However, if run memtest with only one DIMM installed (either one), I get no reported errors. Would this still be an issue with the DIMMs or something wrong with the mobo?
