No, my 3000 is a Winchester. I think that's the earlier one that had the problems.
So if I go for a new dual core, or a venice I should be okay?

The Venice/San-Diego is the first memory controller that can handle running four sticks of memory at DDR400 speeds. Previous cores could only do DDR333 (or was it 2T?) reliably. If it is a Venice, you won't have any better luck with a Toledo or Manchester dual core, as they use the exact same memory controller present in the Venice/San-Diego. If it isn't a Venice, you can get a 3000+ 1.8GHz Venice model and push it to 2.6 or 2.7GHz, and it should work fine with four modules.
