I've got some faulty DIMM SDRAM that will work, to some degree, in various PCs here (though completely rejected by others). Most of the time the PC will work fine, but occasionally it'll have some unexplained error. You think it's just a programming fault, but once you swap the RAM, the box becomes 99.99999% reliable. All I can guess is that the fault exists in some part of the RAM that's either not used often, or is usually gobbled up by something that does nothing most of the time. The only time a PC is 100% reliable is when it's unpowered. You can tell, with absolutely precision, what it will do. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
