Was all the RAM you have bought through Compaq or Avid. Miss-matched and off brand RAM can cause problems over time....

Hi all -
 
Our DS 6.0 system on a Compaq W8000 has gotten this annoying habit of late of crashing out to a blue screen (with no warning, I might add) with the following error message:
 
Hardware malfunction. Call your hardware vendor for support.
 
NMI: Parity check/memory parity error.
*The system has halted*
 
Obviously it must have some RAM that's going bad, but is there anyway to isolate which one it may be, or do I have to replace the whole 1.5 gig?
 
Thanks!
 
Russ
