If this new RAM (replacing Patriot that's memtest erroring with Mushkins tonight) doesn't make this board stable, I may just stick with the motherboard, CPU, and RAM in my sig. That's still not a bad system! I'll just be throwing my GTX 280s and my Velociraptor in there and away I go. That was the original plan. But then I got carried away and decided to do a full upgrade because I wanted to be as sure as possible that the GTX 280s wouldn't cpu-limited.

Still hopeful. But not sure how much time I want to devote to a CPU, motherboard, and RAM that I could just return/sell and probably not notice much of a performance difference. But the restocking fees would be a killer. =(
