If it's a modern machine then most of the memory channels are 2 or
even 3 DIMM's wide. Consult you manual as to whether you can run less
than pairs or DIMMS.

If you have 4 DIMM's installed then I'd consider removing two, testing
two, testing the other two, and then if you see a problem testing all
the combinations until you figure out which one is causing the error.

Good luck,
Mark
