What's the point of being 32-bit clean?

Shoot. Hmm. Well, he just tried reinstalling 7.1 and the SCSI2SD partition got corrupted.
So this leads me to believe it's either bad RAM or bad SCSI. However, the client said the machine was a lot more stable after upgrading to 7.5 despite it not being able to turn on 32-bit memory addressing. It was, apparently, crash prone when in 7.1.1. So if it was more stable when only using 8MBs of addressable RAM. That sounds like a bad RAM chip to me.
I'm thinking that one of the RAM chips perhaps got damaged or josseled during shipping somehow. Not sure how, but somehow. That could explain it.
