	Are you saying all 3 sticks are bad at 133MHz (KA7) and one
or more is bad at 66MHz (BP6)?  The likelihood of that is extremely small.
Also, a 512MB stick of RAM would cost me $1,600CAD.  Sigh.  That's not
going to happen anytime soon.  Furthermore, I stress tested each stick of
RAM, with make -j64 buildworld.  Nothing failed there.  The panics
happenned when the system was just doing its normal tasks.  I'll try to
post more detailed reports (including crash dumps).
