I am on-and-off experimenting with goldmemory and memtester86+ to see if I can find something with more than 512MB that is stable. I am, right now, using 512MB + 256MB slowed down to PC100 speeds. It seems to be stable with this configuration (having survived some memory tests, the decoding of lots of FLAC files in a row and using the machine as usual---with low consumption things like mutt and browsing with lynx). > Turned out to be bad memory stick :o) The thing is that any stick alone doesn't seem to generate a problem. Only when they are used simultaneously I will test it more to see what may be wrong with my setup. :-( I still have not isolated and understood the problem completely. :-( Thanks for the feedback, Rogério. -- Rogério Brito : rbrito@ime.usp.br : http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito Homepage of the algorithms package : http://algorithms.berlios.de Homepage on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/algorithms/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
