The RAM tester on the HW Test CD is hardly definitive - I had bad RAM in my
MDD PowerMac which the test did not detect. I filed a bug with Apple and
their suggestion was to use TechTool Pro 4 or memtest (VersionTracker). I
don't have any experience with TTP 4; memtest seems to be worthwhile but
tweaking it for optimal performance can be tricky. Good luck.
