I just got new RAM and I was advised to test it throughly before deciding to keep it. I ran Memtest 1.65, and it was all clear except for two errors in Test #8. Does anybody know what this means? Windows XP Pro seems to run just fine with it. Is this RAM defective?

So, does nobody know what test #8 is? Any information would be helpful. After three days of use, it seems to work perfectly well in Windows XP. But I would like to know if it is unstable or unreliable. Anybody know anything?
