You seemed to have proven that the original chip is bad. Throw it out (or return it if you can). I would definitely not install it back in the system. Bad ram, especially non error-correcting ram, can cause you all sorts of grief from random crashes to disk corruption. Slow you can live with - disk corruption you probably can't. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
