Thanks Len

I reset the memory and I have a working machine again.

But the extra video card is still not providing video.

I purchased a new monitor. The old one was having syncing problems. The 
new monitor syncs beautifully at 1920x1080. That is a bit of a surprise 
since the chip set did not say that mode was supported.

There are still video corruption problems with the Sandy Bridge chips, 
so I want to get the extra video card working, but there is no longer an 
urgency.
