If you have that many errors I would replace the stick. Is it only on one stick? If it's just one stick then swap it with one that is good and see what happens.

My computer has had some bizzare symptoms for quite some time now, and

could help me understand what the diagnosis is.

There were definately errors that popped up; say a page and a half of
them.  (and here's the stupid question part) does this mean I need to
drop $60 on a new PC3200 stick?  Is there an acceptable level of
error?

I've been assuming that the random crashes (usually only happens in
Windows, but *sometimes* Gentoo will develop some tics) were heat
problems or buggy software; but now I'm not so sure.

Any help would be appreciated.
