Make buildworld is by far the best memory test I ever found. I have had to return 3 sets of DIMMs before I had one that was stable on my system. The vendor did not have a problem with that, and remarked that he had found that AMD / VIA based mainboards tend to be more picky on memory. Once I got the right RAM the system proved as solid as a rock. -- | / o / /_ _ wilko@FreeBSD.org |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte
