Albert, "...precision 620 dell system. Our IT people wanted to increase the memory to 1GB. System did not recognize the memory. Is that what you mean by flaky?"

I have on my desk a Dell Optiplex GX110. One-two times
a week any application can give me a message, something
like "application fatal error, memory referenced at
0x040df01e cannot be read". This could be called
"flaky", but I am not that picky.

But what I meant with regard to memory
is you plug one 512MB stick - it seems fine, you
plug 2 single-sided 128MB sticks - fine. But try
2 sticks of dual-sided 256MB - invalid page fault in
Photoshop, or PowerPoint, or whatever in 30 minutes
of run. That's I would call "flaky".

Regards,

- Ali
