Hm, that's a pity! I have used an Apacer 512 MB PC2700 module in my i-Ram
for testing, but I have ordered two Kingston KVR400X64C3A/1G sticks
that are on Gigabytes list of recommended ram modules[1].
The Apacer module hasn't given my any trouble though. I ran some stress
tests on it last night, bonnie++[2] and stress[3] for a few hours, and
as far as I could tell this didn't screw up the file system in any way.
Do you have any test applications that can reproduce the error on your
i-Ram? I'd be more than happy to do some testing both using my old
Apacer module and the new Kingston modules when they arrive.
With regards to the i-Ram being picky about RAM, check this post:

According to this guy, the i-Ram does not support high density ram
modules. Could this be what's causing your data/file system corruption?
