I ran the apple hardware test on my 17" albook and this message came up:
Invalid Memory Access at %SRR0: ad3c0108 %SRR1: 3c01086f

It then lists the ROM type and tells me to type mac-boot to continue to boot, or shut-down. When I chose mac-boot I was given this message:
Invalid Memory Access at %SRR0: 01400108 %SRR1: 40010870
ok>

at this point I just type shut-down. I do have 1 512MB DIMM that I installed, but it shows up in the apple system profiler. Any idea what this means? I thought the appe hardware test did more than test your memory. If it does, it does shouldn't it show the results of the other tests it ran? Thanks.

I've heard that it was a software bug and that apple will release a new one, you�re memory can be good.

I had the same problem, and I went to great lengths to get it "fixed", only to find out that Apple claims it is a problem with the test itself.

See here for details (it's rather long - scroll down for the memory part):

Thank you! I was a bit worried that my RAM was screwed!
