That a stick of RAM that goes bad, not because of voltages, able to mess up a DIMM slot? Had a stick of memory that went bad, slot 3, ... now no memory works in that slot.

My motherboard is great, 458 fsb almost 50% o/c etc but id hate to think its going, any ideas ?
 
I would think it's possible. Chances are the voltage regulation on that slot was bad and blew the memory.
 
Say that wasnt the case, say the power was fine, the ram just failed

There's no reason for the RAM to fail apart from maybe ESD. Certainly that wouldn't cause the slot to fail, just that the RAM wouldn't work.
