I have a DS Lite, a camera, and 7 MP3 players and I STILL want the DSi.

Hey everyone,

I just ran memtest 86+, and one of my RAM sticks (I know which one it is) has errors on it. I also cannot exchange this RAM for a new one.

I was wondering if it is possible to somehow block out the bad sectors of the RAM so that only the good ones are used. Does anyone know if it is possible? If it's not it sure sounds like a fantastic idea for programmers to pursue doesn't it?

EDIT: I could return it if someone knows a way of how to exchange Patriot RAM without the reciept of my purchase...I went on the Patriot site and it says I need the invoice number, which I assume is on the reciept from when I bought it at Canada Computers. I bought the RAM around July 5th, 2008 and it just started having problems yesterday night. Since I had no problems with it for a while and ran some other tests on it (not memtest 86+) and found no errors I just threw out the reciept about 3 weeks ago. No use keeping things I don't need right? Apparently I need it now though, unless the invoice number is on the actual RAM or something...

This is just like those games that Nintendo has and people say they are kiddy for it. This is obviously an extremely interesting and seemingly amazing game, anyone of any age could buy it and have fun. But there will always be those people who see this game as "kiddy" and not buy it because of it.

As to the topic at hand, I don't own a PS3, but my cousin does and he is 27 or 28 (I forget which) and he's getting it. He's excited about it (as am I) about it. If I had a PS3 (maybe eventually) I'd get it too, and I'm 18.

I know it may not be powerful enough to play with high fps, but it is indeed good enough to play it. It meets the minimum requirments, and did not restart even after being played for several hours before the restart. Also, I don't think that link you gave me is correct. That site says that it is a mobile chipset, while this is a desktop. It also does not match the specs that the PC gives me for this IGP. And, as I said I would do, I tried to play WoW for a few hours on the PC as you suggested, and it did not restart. I played it from 6:30-9:10, and it would have restarted before in half that amount of time. And WoW's minimum is also 32 MB http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/faq.html.

All I have done is cleaned out the PC (thoroughly) and removed the 2x256 as suggested by 9mmSpliff. So one or the other (or maybe both) seemed to have fixed whatever the problem was.

Thanks for everyones help in this problem. I wish it was possible to give users "fame" or props or something on GS...
