It's strongly recommended. I've now found that both SDRAMS with the same
batch number are experiencing the same error with memtest, that's after
I had a lockup with the one I thought was good. They will be replaced
under lifetime warranty by Kingston memory. I've temporarily stuck a
PC2700 512M stick in and it's been solid under memtest and with a full
workload.
Regards
Sid.
