Memory produces one single error in memtest86

[Wolfchild]

I was testing one single Rosewill 512 PC3200 stick in an MSI KT6 Delta and it produces one single error in the final test seven. Each time a whole pass is made it makes that same single error. Have another stick and it doesn't do this, with both in, I get that same single error.

Is this anything to worry about? Should I send that stick back? I also ran the MS memory test with no error reports.

send it back, one error is one error too many

Seconded. Believe me, even a single memory bit error can cause serious havoc on your system.

Just try upping the VDIMM a notch or two. My TwinMOS throws loads of errors at stock VDIMM - but increasing it a tiny amount resulted in zero errors in over 6 hours of Memtest.

Also, some G.Skill I just bought for another machine threw one error - upped the VDIMM and, again, no more errors.
