I bought some memory to upgrade the Pacman PC. SURELY this will go off without a hitch.. surely it will. Okay, let's talk about it, in a š§µ here! 
So, as you saw from the intro picture, we're now showing 1.5 GB of memory in this lovely system. The system booted up into Hannah Montana Linux š. That's fine.. we can ask it how much memory it sees. Looking good!
Oh, here's the memory installed. Let's kick off MemTest86+
And here we are, sometime later. Geez. So based on the placement here, two out of the three sticks are bad. I also had a fourth stick, and it was bad too. So, 75% failure rate in this batch.
I pulled out one of my Pentium II systems to see if I could use it to test, but its mobo won't support 512MB DIMMs. But, I don't think this is a mobo issue, I think the memory is bad. Such is life! To be continued. Thx for following along!
