Good questions.

Here's where the asterisk comes in: When I turned on my...
Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding. Glad things are all pointing to RAM right now! It feels like it is being narrowed down each time you post :-)
Are you suggesting this is possible even though the slower timings resulted in 0 errors? i.e. the defective ram slot could be sensitive to...
@Dom - I appreciate the detailed summary of information for my edification. This all makes sense.
