It's *most likely* just the RAM that's bad. Though it could be motherboard,
CPU or Hard Drive, not likely to be a SCSI card.Your best solution would be
buy another 64MB stick and replace the one you have. RAM is pretty cheap
right now and if it turns out that's not the problem well, you can never
have too much RAM.
