Ok, then I trust you :)

First step passed, I reduced to one 512MB DIMM and a full buildworld 
with parallel qt build passed.
I'll try overnight with the other DIMM to exclude single DIMM failures.
But still, I have some more possibilities then, slot1/2 is defect, DIMM 
1 does not like co'op with DIMM 2, ECC vs. non ECC (one is marked with 
ECC support, the other isn't).
Will take some hours to find out.

Thanks,
Andreas
