Hi. I tested the old pc with memtest86 and memtest86+ for 16 and 50
hours without any errors detected, so apparently the ram is ok.

I now just did another test from a freshley booted old pc, standing
idle for around 2 hours before I started the testing (no network activity
before I plugged in the cable just before starting testing).

The copying failed after just 2.62GB, so the logs are short and
nice. Stored on same server as earlier, new 2008-06-19 directory. One
thing I noticed in the dmesg output on the old pc was the following:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff3cff
printing eip: ffff3cff *pde = 00793067 *pte = 00000000
