Ram problems after systemworks scan

[Instan00dles]

I just did a scan on my RAM with norton systemworks and it says there is a error detected at address 205549568, what does that mean?

if you've got more than 256Mb ram then read this.
if not then can't help!

Not to worry. It is a well known bug in NSW 2000 and 2001 . . . it can't handle more than 256 MB of RAM. I keep waiting for a patch, but I guess it ain't coming. I hear the same bug continues in NSW 2002.

Here's a work around you can use. If you have a pair of 256 MB DIMM sticks, pull one . . . test the other. Then swap and you test them both. Replace them both and forever forget about NSW's memory test.
