i just got my new ram and i did memtest and i got 6 errors. know i dont know much about ram but is this ok/allowable or should i return it???. it booted windows and games run way faster than my 512 ram.

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

 

it was never designed to even test that kind of memory running on your processor. RAM is like a light, either its on or off, broke or working. If you can play, its good.

 

y not on my processor???

 

RTFM

MemTest tells me "Memory error detected...", what does this mean?

[align=left]This is not normal. Your RAM is bad, or your system is incorrectly configured. If you have overclocked your machine, or selected aggressive RAM timings in your BIOS you should try more conservative settings before judging the ram fully bad. If you can't get MemTest to run without errors even with conservative BIOS settings, your RAM is bad. Replace it, or you will experience stability and corruption problems. Correctly functioning RAM has no errors, even if you run MemTest overnight.[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]Read the manual for more details on how to determine the exact cause of the problem.[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]MDFF[/align]

 

if its new and failing tests i would return it, wouldnt want to have to deal with that down the road once the return policy expires.

 

ok thanks i will return it asap. thanks for the help.
