I swapped the motherboard and CPU and it *seems* to have gotten rid of the problem... games are now buggy though! LOL!

My bad, the test ran for 3 hours then gave a fatal rounding error.

I bought a new dual channel kit from Corsair (2x512MB PC3200) and I no longer have any problems. I guess when Memtest doesn't show an error, but you're still having problems, it can still be the memory. Prime95 runs like a dream now as well. Games are stable. With all the RMA's, it will have taken a few months!

THANK YOU! Everybody.

You´re absolutely right. That is the main lesson learned from this episode. There have been several examples of this situation in the past.
