Hi Dave,
it doesn't have to have been a bad memory chip.
You know how a mobo will be using the fastest bank interleave scheme with
just two sticks in and get slower with a third stick in. It could be that
with a third stick of a different size put in, and perhaps different timings
as well, the RAM access just got a lot slower overall.
Anyway David, I'm glad you found the prob and could fix it.
