Unfortunately the BIOS memory check is pretty useless.  It only
detects really major problems, like "there's a smoking crater where my
memory used to be".  That the BIOS memory check passes doesn't tell
you anything worth knowing.  Use a more sensitive tester like
memtest86, or if you can possibly get access to one, a hardware memory
tester.  Only the hardware tester will be able to give your memory
sticks a 100% known good bill of health, but something like memtest86
will catch most problems, and it doesn't tell you there are errors
when there aren't.

	Cheers,
