I do believe we have a winner!!!

The first RAM that I have go bad in 25 years, so it was about time. There were 
3 sticks on the MB and sure enough a 256 MB one was bad. Soon as it came out 
the memory errors stopped in the memcheck program.

Perhaps those PCI errors were the memory problem areas.

Thanks for the quick answers everyone. Now to try an install.

Cheerio
