So with the memory mapping on, the torture test didn't hit any errors.
So I'm tempted to use this as a short-term solution, and then at the
weekend I'll looking at swapping the sticks around.
For anyone that's interested: you can do this (on debian) by editing
/etc/default/grub and to the line that begins:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=
add something like:
memmap=100M\\\$800M
which will tell the kernel not to use the 100MB of memory starting at 800MB.

Before you do... swap them 1 for 1... you can possibly identify which

Hmmm, hadn't thought of that either. There's four slots and two
sticks. So I could move the two sticks to the free slots. I'm
running another mprime test at the mo, so I'll give that a go later.
Thanks,

What happens if you swap the ram slots (assume you have more

Unfortunately none of my computers share the same RAM type

have to purchase some more for that. So I thought I'd give this
memory mapping a go first.
