Hi Chris,

Sorry for not getting back to you on this sooner. I previously run memtest on this computer without errors, but thought it valuable to repeat the test over a longer period. Unfortunately, yesterday I got sidetracked looking at the Olympic games, so I'm only getting back to you with the memtest results. After 36 hours, 52 minutes of clock time and 26.4 passes on 2GB of RAM (and thunderstorms all day yesterday), there are zero errors.

Let me know what else I can do to help.
