I've heard from users who have had the same type of problem that you  
are experiencing and who at first told me that their PRAM battery  
tested out fine.  But in the end their problem wasn't resolved until  
they replaced the battery with a new one.

In my mind, if you have a battery that is known to routinely give out  
in about three years, and you are experiencing the type of problems  
that are typical of a drained battery, and your battery is three or  
more years old, not replacing that $5 battery is penny wise but pound  
foolish.
