I don't think the ram is bad, it's in another machine replacing some 32's
and working fine, I just think maybe the combo of like fast page ECC vs
non-ECC, or some variation in the types was messing it up under stress.

I wasn't putting anywhere near a load on it when it was running NT, just
installed it to see if it would boot.
