that's worthless .....
no memory vendor will give you a warranty replacement
based on memtest or its variants as compared to their
dedicated multi-million dollar memtestors that supposedly
says the sticks are fine when it went out the door
if these are PC2100 or pC2700 or pc3200 or ???
i assume your motherboard is configured for it
- check your fsb jumpers on the mb too
== if you want your $$$ back for the bad motherbord,
-- bring a vicking or corsair memory with you
so they cannot point the finger to cheap memory
( and show that the memory works in other boxes
