Certain other model TPs seem to have similar memory weirdnesses. On
a 760XL a 32 MB module suddenly went bad for no reason I could
determine. The slot itself, though was still good. An old 770Z I still
sometimes use every once in a while decides it doesn't like the 64 +
128 MB modules installed and goes into hardware freeze until I swap one
or the other out with a spare.
