Bad RAM

Ok

Buying the cheapest DDR2-800 memory available (corsair CM2X2048-6400C5) was a BAD idea. I will concider this a lesson and keep to Kingston (who never failed me) or Crucial (which I only hear the same about) in the future.

It seems the 8 GB of RAM I bought for the new machine has at least one bad bit. All things considered one bit out of 68719476736 (8*1024^3*8) is a pretty good percentage, although in this case simply not good enough.

Ok, so the old server died. Or actually it still lives it just reboots every 3h-2d which kills the disks in it.
But now it has been replaced with:
1 Intel E8200 2.66 Ghz 6MB L2 cache
8 GB of RAM (PC-6400)
2 TB of diskspace

Hopefully this will work well for the near future.
