Of course you tried bumping the MCH voltage a tad?

I tried the memory voltage at 1.8V and 2.2V (as per EPP). No difference.
Still intermittently fails on Memtest, and behaves strangely in Windows
(prolonged startup and BSODs). In fact, at 1066MHz, there was no difference
in performance between 1.8V and 2.2V.
