RAM check - Followup question

[Philip Juels]

Curious...the system is a Dell Optiplex GX270...RAM system is PC3200 
2x512MB DIMMs in a the dual-channel arrangment.  If I run memtest 
against this setup, I get numerous errors.  However, if run memtest with 
only one DIMM installed (either one), I get no reported errors.  Would 
this still be an issue with the DIMMs or something wrong with the mobo?

PS...pardon me for asking a hardware question on a FreeBSD list :-)
