Can Memtest-86 be wrong??

[joe360]

I ran Memtest-86 (newest version), and these are my results:

1st Pass Failing Address Good Bad Err-Bits Count Can
7 0 0000488f024 - 72.9 MB bc309266 b309266 04000000 1
7 0 0002c48e064 - 708.8 MB 791ba73f 791ba73f 04000000 1

So basically...what does that mean?

The reason why I rean Memtest-86 in the first place, was I kept getting this error in Far Cry multiplayer:

Critical Exception
Description: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATOIN
Attempt to read from address
The memory could not be "read"

Anyone know what that one means??

Thanks!!

System Specs:

AMD-64 3000+ s754
MSI K8T Neo
Corsair 1GB PC3200 Single Channel
Asus Radeon 9600XT

Try lossening the timings on the ram, increase the ram voltage, or decrease the bus speed. Memtest is showing errors in both chips...so I'd guess that your settings are too aggressive. Or the chips could be bad...You might also want to try the test with just one stick at a time.
