That said, I'm not sure how good memtest86 is. Could you suggest a memory test program that might find in a few hours what POST found in less than two minutes? To me, cracking the case is a *really* big deal. I don't want to do it unless I know I have to. Static, ribbons, fear and trepidation. I certainly do not want to have to buy some more DDR2 memory.
