I'm having a similar problem as well with our monitor
we have windows 2000 and recently a horizontal line
which keeps changing colour (usually it's red/pink/blue/yellow)
started to appear on the right side of the screen
it sometimes disappears but it always comes up again
could this possibly be a trouble with the RAM as you've mentioned?
The first thing to do would be to narrow down the location of the problem by (assuming this isn't a laptop):
1. Trying a different (known to be working) monitor on the machine. If that monitor exhibits problems, you can start looking inside the computer for the cause.
2. Put the monitor with the display problem on another computer. Obviously, if the monitor still has the problem, it's the monitor that needs repair.
3. Make sure you don't have anything which throws a magnetic field sitting to close to the monitor (speakers, for example).
