Yeah, probably better to get something that is likely to run for 10 more years than to squeeze another year out of something old. > On Mon, 25 Nov 2013, Les Mikesell wrote: >> >> I've seen a machine where it took 3+ days of running memtest86 to >> catch the error.

Like I said, I had one that ran clean for 3 days, then caught the intermittent RAM error that was causing the problem. But, if I hadn't already had a pile of similar RAM to swap in, I would probably have been ahead to trash the old box anyway. It just happened to be the only large tower case I had with an 8 port SATA controller and room for a lot of disks and I like using it for backups. > The memory is the newest part of the computer. > After rebooting, it crapped out twice in half an hour. > After that, I went back to F14.
