I'm using an Epox 8KDA3J mobo, an A64 3200+, and two sticks of this Mushkin RAM (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...0-146-219&depa=). I am running everything at default settings. I've tried slots 1 &3, 1 & 2, and 2&3. It doesn't make a difference. I recieve 78 errors at the very end. I don't think there is anything wrong with the individual sticks. If I run them alone, they will pass the tests. The computer is automatically running the RAM at 2.5-3-3-8 2T. What do you suggest?

loosen the timing froms 2.5-3-3-8 to 2.5-4-3-10 i heard 10-11 on the end # is the best performance on amd64 machines
and stability issue gets fixed when you replace the second # with 4 instead of 3..
(sorry don't know the name of the spots)

I tried those timings Dennis, but still no luck. The errors are getting fewer though. I'm down to six from thirty-something.

try to increase the CAS latency to 3. that might give a few less errors. Could be that your board has bad ram slots maybe? Try the sticks on a friends board if you can.
