My Kingston memory is very good (and was rather expensive), yet it was
failing with my new mobo; a DFI board. Turned out it was due to a problem
with the mobo reading the wrong timing values for the memory chips. Had to
manually set them in the BIOS and all my errors with memtest went away (as
well as my problems trying to install Windows).
It also helps to have access to dedicated memory testing equipment. :^)
Good luck,
Greg

good info memtest-86 found several (bunch) failing addresses
around 340-355 mb so I guess I will replace the memory and see what
happens

This should tell you if you are having memory trouble or not.
