Have you tried any memory testing routines such as memtest86 ? Its the
only you write to a floppy and it runs before any bootstrap kicks in --
independant of the OS -- and takes around 18 hours for a single pass. It
appears to be quite a comprehensive torture test. If so, how did that
dodgy DIMM perform? (The reason I ask is that I'm interested in knowing
if these tests can reveal the problems that building world did in your
situation.)
