So the only two conclusions I can come to are "Yes, 'too fast' memory

problems with my second pair of PC-6400, maybe they are also duff. If
MemTest doesn't show any problems, I'll next try Mike Tomlinson's test
suggestions.

I think someone has already mentioned Prime95 - but its torture test
will often reveal problems hiding in otherwise apparently working hardware.
