I fitted a second 256MB PC133 chip and decided to test it with Norton Utilities. After a few seconds Norton told me the test had failed at a particular memory address.
So I decided to try the memtest86 program outside of Windows. This tested clear after running through all the tests available over a period of some 20 minutes. I repeated the testing and left the machine running until it had completed 10 cycles. Again this tested clear with no errors.
My PC seems to run okay.
How reliable is the Norton test and should I just ignore it?
Thanks, Alan
