RAM parity is an issue between the BIOS and the memory, not really a operating system issue. Now, defective memory is. I'm sure you'll get lots of opinions. The best thing for you may be to find a good (local?) source & manufacturer for your RAM, and stick with them, and make sure they'll take back bad RAM. It's rather pathetic how much bad RAM I see on this list. I would think that RAM manufacturers would hold themselves to higher standards, especially with the proliferation of OSs with the memory usage sophistication like FreeBSD.
