Hmm, but why would I want to repair an installation that works fine when I
back the amount of RAM off to 3 GB? While it might be bad RAM, both sets of
modules work fine on their own. Maybe this system just can't deal with it at
the chipset level?

I was just looking for comments and advice especially from anyone else who
might have configured this much RAM on an XP Pro workstation.
