This system is listed with the RAM manufacturer's and according to
Kingston's notes:
========================================================
Systems shipped with 800MHz FSB processors require DDR400 (KTD8300/xxx) parts.
Systems shipped with 533MHz FSB processors require DDR333 (KTD4550/xxx) parts.
MODULES MUST BE ORDERED AND INSTALLED IN PAIRS for Dual Channel mode.
This system is configurable and may ship with a different amount of
standard memory.
========================================================
So you may have the wrong speed ram causing the errors in dual-channel
mode, or you may just have a bad module.
I don't know any ram that is NOT guaranteed for life, so if you have a bad
module contact the manufacturer and get it replaced.

I switched the DIMMs from dual-channel to single-channel and so far (up to
test 4) I get no errors. Go figure.

As of now, memtests 2,3, and 4 fail (waiting for the rest). The
following bits are listed as "Err-Bits" (00001000,00008000,00002000).
The chipset is Intel i848/i865. I may install the DIMMs into another
machine and memtest them there.

It might be as simple as the bios settings. Which memtest tests gave errors?
Assuming that you have not upgraded the ram or anything like that, it
is probably the chipset. What type of chipset do you have?

Curious...the system is a Dell Optiplex GX270...RAM system is PC3200
2x512MB DIMMs in a the dual-channel arrangment. If I run memtest
against this setup, I get numerous errors. However, if run memtest with
only one DIMM installed (either one), I get no reported errors. Would
this still be an issue with the DIMMs or something wrong with the mobo?

PS...pardon me for asking a hardware question on a FreeBSD list :-)

Thanks...I downloaded the iso and memtest confirmed that the system
has memory problems.

I'm running into random seg faults during KDE and Gnome compilation,

I and others on the list suspect faulty RAM. Are there any utils out
there that can test/diagnose RAM (aside from the laughable BIOS POST).
