One obvious comment. 'Bad RAM' means that the CPU couldn't read the same 
value that it wrote. This _might_ be a RAM chip, it might be a RAM 
controller problem, it might be a corroded trace to the RAM or to the 
controller, or.... I'd want to do some more tests before blindly swapping 
out RAM chips.
