Mantis,
  Did replacing the RAM solve your problem?
I have the same error on a CPU/MB that worked perfectly for months in my machine, 
now exhibits this error when I swapped it to a new machine and bought a replacement 
128MB RAM.

Cheers,
  Jason

p.s. Yes, you are correct. This earlier responses were obsiously from first grade 
twats (or, more likely, the same one registered under two names :)
