Now, what criteria should be used for 'tossing' the c= hips (I have 2-256Mb DIMM), is there an acceptable fault tolerance limit or= is it a "ZERO" tolerance? If memtest86 shows any errors at all --- even if you have to run several test cycles to get the errors to show up --- then you need to replace the memory (or there is a faint possibility that you may need a new CPU). It's worth swapping out the sticks one at a time to see if the fault is localised to one of them. Speak to your supplier: most components like memory or CPU have a 3 year warranty.
