Set the system speed down as low as possible (100MHz). The bios still 
reported the memory frequency at 200MHz. Memtest86 failed at the same 
test although only about 15,000+ errors.

I am out of play time tonight. I'll try to get time Sunday morning to 
check the chip codes.

Doesn't seem to be that. No change.

I bought these parts through newegg.com. At times like this saving $$ 
seems to be a bad choice. This is the only system I have access to that 
uses these parts so I can't swap memory around or try it in other 
systems. Thanks for the test suggestions. Looks like I'm getting closer.

Later,

Jim
