high number of computation errors on rosetta

Well, I finally got my Q6600 up and running, and she's a dream.
However, I seem to be getting a very high number of computation errors on rosetta wu. Nothing on seti or spinhenge wu. Anybody else find that this is the case (ie is there something that I should know about?)

i've unhooked rosetta, as out of 10, i don't think one got through.

Might be worth running it through a Marsenne Prime stress test for a bit, see if you're getting errors?

meh, you're right. it does the simplest stress test no problems for a long while (>15 mins)
but the two it borks out in less than 15 secs

does this even at stock clocks.
going to have to slowly tease apart the memory then I think. sigh.
or is this a symptom of using 4gb of ram in windows xp-32bit?

Hmm, looks like its the RAM, I've removed one stick, and it works fine. going to run another test tonight for longer when the other stick is back in, but in the other set of slots.
