So, I have been having some trouble lately with some programs crashing and I decided to test my memory with memtest86.
I ran memtest with the option for all tests (option 3, I think) and let it run overnight. So, after 9.5 hours of testing, memtest had produced two errors.

Is this an acceptable number of errors, or should I be worried about this? Also, what other ways are there of testing memory stability on a computer?

System specs:
Intel P4 2.8C
