Your system will still boot but will give you a POST error if you have RAM problems.

My experience is that this generally not true for any situation short of total failure of the RAM. The RAM test that computers normally do on startup can miss all sorts of errors. The only time I've ever seen the startup tests detect a problem was when one of the SIMMs in my old 386 physically fell out of its slot, on the other hand I have had several RAM modules fail in more subtle ways that were a real pain to figure out.
