That's all it takes. Each chip supplies 1 bit for every byte possible to access.

 

Problem is the stock memory test isn't very useful. A decent memory test if it knows your Ram configuration should be able to suggest which chip/s are faulty.

Usually you can piggy back 1 good ram chip on each one at a time to test to find which one is bad

Yes, but that only works if the bad chip is open and not shorted.

Wow that's a great looking virgin unit :-o If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost?
