I agree completely with John here.
Linux especially is known to be more sensitive to bad hardware than BSD or Windows or Mac - possibly because tighter tolerances are needed to maintain relative sanity when it comes to the kernel ;-)
Not an argument but a comment here. When I upgraded to XP from ME, I had to downgrade my hardware because XP was less fault tolerant of my RAM, and DVD/DVD-Burner setups. 10.0, my everyday boot, 10.2, my try it and see boot, Ubuntu and LinuxXP had not problems what so ever. Linux-4 Windows -1 :)
If this were 1981 and a 16K chip of static RAM was the best available and cost about $1200 i'd agree. But RAM really is cheap now, so why risk it? Also, faulty RAM will just slow down your computer and make it more unstable anyway.
