I just discovered some bad DDR2 RAM in an older machine (2GB x 2) and I
tested each stick separately using memtest86.  The result confuses me:

Each 2GB stick fails at exactly the same point in the test (0-32MB), and
that seems improbable to me.  I'm thinking the mobo might be broken instead
of the RAM.  Any ideas?

Thanks.  (I have only the one machine that uses DDR2, unfortunately.)
