RAM problems with 8200?

I've had my 2Ghz 8200 for about a month now, and suddenly - maybe starting a week ago - I started getting strange behaviour while gaming...system slowdowns, choppy sound (that makes animation go all choppy as well), then crashout to desktop.

This morning, I started getting "System memory is very low, Norton Antivirus may not be able to run properly" messages, then BSD. Very surprising, since I have 512K of RAM...how could I be running low, since I'm only doing ONE THING at a time?

I rebooted, ran Norton SystemWorks diagnostic on the memory, and was informed of hardware failure at certain addresses.

I've got paired 256K chips - anyone else having hardware problems with their memory? Or am I the only lucky winner?

Thanks
