Possible bad RAM?

Before I run out and cough up $$ for new ram I thought I would run this problem by the experts (that would be you). I think my RAM may have failed but I'm not sure. First off
ABIT NF7-S
Corsair XMMS 2x256MB Dual Channel
AMD XP 1800 @ 2GHZ

Ive been running this config for about a year now rock stable. Then the other day I decided to finally flash my bios with the latest version, and add a 200Gig HD. Since then I have been experiencing random reboots. It doesn't matter what I am doing, playing a game, updateing usenet, posting on here, it will randomly reboot and no two times are ever the same so I can't recreate the error. So I downloaded a copy of memtest and ran it start at 2.4 volts for my DDR ram and up to 2.7. I get errors at various different address on my ram, at one point I was up to 70 something errors. Does memtest perform differently when dealing with dual-channel setup? Any recommendation as to what else I could try. Thanks
 
If memtest gives you under 50 errors, your RAM is most likely good. Anywhere between 50 and 200 is the gray zone, 200+ is bad ram. Definetely...

(I should know, I had what, 50000 errors once)
