linux BadRAM VMWare and Windows
okay, I have been plauged with "bad RAM" for some time. I upgrade and add more ram and the old module "fails". I upgrade and replace an old module and the new one "fails"
I have heard of BadRAM for linux where you can use memtest86 to find the "BadRAM" and enter it into your kernel args. what if I was to use linux (any distro, not choosy) run memtest86, lock out the Bad RAM with the BadRam module kernel arguments and then run Windows from within a VMWare virtual machine? Assuming that I am running a linux distro and only VMWare with it tweaked full would this lock out the bad emmroy from windows so I can avoide the Blue Screen of Death?
Icedentally I run 5 machines at home.
Mac OSX 10.2
CentOS 4
Ubuntu (Kubuntu Most recent as of this post, just installed)
Windows XP Home x 2
All but the Win machines are pretty flawless in operation but I need to have ONE Win machine for various reasons.
Thank you for your help!!
