Ran mem test

Ok lol...I just ran memtest on my sys for 9 hrs. Was wondering if
....lol... if 28000 errors is good?

Getting an RMA and shipping the ram tommorrow.
Seriously tho my pc has had a prob with crashing progs, and randomly
rebooting would this be the prob?

Kony was on the money there.Yep, 28K is a good number of errors. Was that
both sticks in dual-channel mode or one module (not that it matters much) ?

both in dual channel

Thanks for all the help guys,

In another post, you said your MB was a Refurb from newegg, correct?
Maybe it's not the RAM, but the motherboard.

BUT - try the RAM out of dual-channel mode. It may just be that your RAM brand
+ Asus is a bad combo, and you cannot use dual-channel.
If so, it's not a big loss, only a few percent difference in speed.

I've wondered about this. What are the performance benefits of say Dual
Channel DDR 400 Mhz RAM over running the same chips in Single Channel? Does
it depend on the application, OS, etc?

On an Nforce2 board, dual channel really only helps when the motherboard has
onboard video. Otherwise it's a less than 2% increase in memory bandwidth.
Newer Intel chipsets in dual-channel config can make better use of the extra
bandwidth.
