My A1000 on startup blinks the LED a few times, displays a green screen
for a second, blanks it and then repeats this cycle forever.  
I've been told that this means bad RAM, is this right?

Now before I go and start replacing RAM chips on the motherboard at random,
does anyone have any other suggestion.  For example, could this be bad 
RAM on the kickstart board?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
