[PLUG] memtest86 interpretation

Someone hates me.
Back in December, I built an NFS server with four 80gig IDE drives, a
gig of RAM and a 2.53 GHz P4 on an Intel D845GBV motherboard. Two
days ago, after working flawlessly for a month, it oops'd and locked
up. I didn't notice it right away because I haven't moved anything
crucial to it yet.
I rebooted and it came back up fine. A few hours later it crashed
again. I decided to maybe try building a new kernel, however while
doing so I got classic random gcc errors. When I'd rerun "make" it
would carry on over the same places it had seen errors. Started
looking like maybe memory errors. So, I downloaded memtest86 3.2 and
ran it. Found errors. There are two memory modules (crucial), and I
tried them one at a time in different slots and get errors on both of
them. What are the chances two different parts failed at the same
time?
Tomorrow I plan to test the memory in a different motherboard and see
what I get there. I could try the CPU too.
