suspicious ram

my computer was going nuts about a month ago. turns out taking out the second stick of ram fixed it. so i put the working one in another computer and took both out of that one. and back into mine. so now i still had 2 sticks of ram, but from a different computer. now i was getting another problem. surprise it was the second stick of ram again. is it possible that my mobo is frying ram or something? i dont think the second one was in the same slot in both instances though, because the second set have a case and didnt fit right beside eachother.

I'm sick of this "just get more ram!" bullshit. My 286 did almost as much functionality-wise as my current multi-ghz machine. Yeah, really. Sure, there was no multi-tasking, but I did the mostly the same things as I do today.
Hello, fuckers, just because you can eat ram doesn't mean you should. It costs money and also reduces the number of programs you can run.
I can see it now: in another ten years programs will have minimum footprint of 1GB, but they'll just do more of the same
