The mapping between addresses (what memtest86 sees) and physical DIMMs is inconsistent. It varies between motherboard, chipsets, sometimes even BIOS settings. It really is just a pass/fail test. Run it with only the onboard and see how it goes. Then start cycling the modules through. Try every module, individually, in every slot. I've seen motherboards with bad slots causing problems.
