I was having problems installing XP so I ran MemTest 86+ Version 2.11 and I get over 10,000 errors :eek:
OK my question is there a way to fix the ram or do I totally need to replace it?
 
You'll need to replace the RAM, but since it's RDRAM then it's not worth the expense. Buying new RAM will cost you far more then what that system is worth.
 
First try re-seating the ram and retesting. I have had PC's start giving me mem and other errors after moving them, and have had the issue resolved by by just re-seating the ram and expansion cards.

But yeah, if it still gives you errors, finding and buying r-dram might set you back more money and time then just finding a DDR based p4 mobo and some DDR ram. Though I would prolly strip the working components as salvage and toss the rest myself.
