Athlon 2500 + single stick 256MB DDR(PC2700) at 166MHz

Had the opportunity to memtest a box that usually runs continuously.
As one error was thrown up, I memtested the thing again for 24 hours
which yielded another single error.

As both errors were at different points, do I need to worry?. The errors
were a genuine surprise as no problems have been encountered in over 4000
hours of service. The usual swap use is around 50-100MB.

I had to hit him, he was beginning to make sense.
