System_Memory Test failure

[I3iZerK]

I recently bought a cheap stick of 256MB PC133 memory to add to my existing 128MB PC100 memory. I don't really want to dish out the money for crucial or corsair memory. Anyway I get this error message when I try to do a memory address line test.

The Memory_Address_Line_Test detected a failure:
Read FFFFFFFFh, expected 00000000h at address 08004080h.
Im guessing that the address in question is one of the first tested addresses on my new stick of memory. Do I need to some how initialize the memory to the correct values before I do the check?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

the cheap stick of pc133 happens to be faulty i think, take the old 128mb pc100 out and boot with the pc133, see if you get the same error

Even though 133 can clock down to 100, you're asking for trouble mixing them, theres probably nothing wrong with them at all run individually.
