I've tested the entire week, with some weird results. No errors are found inside any of the two modules, when I test them separately (in slot one). When I have both modules, I get a few hundreds errors. I've cleaned the slots and the contacts, but no change. The funny thing is that all the errors seem located in the 0-128M range, even if I swap the position of the two modules. I've tested multiple times, for up to 16 hours at a time, and the results are consistent: no errors with a single module, a lot of them with both inserted, no matter which is the order of the modules (original, or swapped). I assume it's the fault of the motherboard, not of the memory modules.
What motherboard and chipset? We had memory problems (at least when testing the memory -- not sure if there were problems running a real OS) with the Abit KG-7 which has the AMD 760 and Via split chipset... Memory would give lots of errors in one specific range, no matter which DIMM we used, but when tested in another motherboard that had a straight AMD (not split between an AMD North? bridge and Via South? bridge) chipset there were no errors.
We replaced the motherboard with something else.

Thanks eveybody for the answers - I think I should get a new motherboard and processor.

If you're as cheap/thrify as many of us, it may seem worth the effort to test. But it's pretty likely that if one of your 128 sticks is one, the other one will soon follow. Nutshell, Kris is right.
If your time is utterly free, go ahead. I've learned that it pays to bite the bullet and buy new and top-rated memory. I'd go for a 256MB stick if/when you want to upgrade.
