Faulty Memory Exclusion

Hi, I have a couple of faulty memory modules. They just have a few
faulty memory locations. So is there any way to tell Windows XP or
Vista not to use those memory locations or the memory range
corresponding to the chip containing those locations?

It would be great if the Vista Memory Diagnostic Tool could do this
automatically. How hard can it be to allocate those faulty memory
locations very early in the boot process so that they don't get used
anywhere else? It would save those faulty modules from being thrown
away. And could greatly improved the system's perceived stability,
since RAM failure can cause lots of nasty problems.

Thanks.

No, sorry. It doesn't work that way. Replace the RAM.
