so, im trying to fix some pain in the a$$ problems im having with my computer and ithink i may have found out that my 3 memory chips might be conflicting.. i ran memtest86.exe, and it seems that i was getting different errors with all 3 in there..i got rid of 1 of the chips and the tests ran smooth..so, my question is.. if i had conflicting memory chips would that cause the computer errors i was getting (crashing programs, bad cd reads, cds saying they are corrupted, slow downs, etc).. thanks for any help.. 1

individually they are fine.. but all together they conflict.. so i got rid of 1 (dropping me to 768mb) but no errors, which is the most important thing.. so iguess i need to buy another stick.. any suggestions for compatibility?
