I have a question about Vista memory that I am sure other people have already investigated. There is a Resource Monitor in the Vista Task Manager that says I am getting occasional Fault Stops in continually running apps like BOINC. It's not causing a problem that I can actually point to, but I know that those types of errors will slow a PC down. The RAM passes memory tests without issues so I'm not concerned. I'm using cheap generic non-ECC/non-OC RAM and I was wondering if anyone knows whether Vista causes more Fault Stops than XP does because of the way it handles memory. I've never had a Fault Stop checker in XP so I don't know the answer. Gates has said that starting with Vista, all future Windows versions should use ECC RAM and I was curious if there was a connection with Windows handling memory differently or not.
