My home machine is an Nforce2 Ultra400 board with 1GB of PC3200 memory and a AthlonXP 2500+ overclocked to a 3200+ by setting the FSB to 400MHz. It had FC2 on it and just last week I installed FC3. It runs great with FC3. I upgraded the RAM from 512MB to 1GB when it had FC2 on it and there were no problems.
My guess would still be memory. My two sticks are matched. Maybe your
board or the OS is having issues with the different sticks of memory? A
stretch, but I have seen weirder problems. If you have some spare RAM
available, you might swap it out and see what happens. If nothing else,
it would eliminate that as the problem. HTH.
Thanks Justin for ignoring my request to mail only to the list:-) I'm subscribed but suspended for excessive bounces (of which I can see no trace), my invitations to confirm have both expired an the webpage comes up blank in Konqueror (not surprise when I read the HTML!), and the lit mangler has not responded to my email.
Define "matched." I bought them from the same supplier and they were in the same price range. I'd have thought that the supplier would ask questions if it were important.

This really shouldn't matter, but there is nothing installed in your first dimm slot. Just for grins, swap the outer dimm to the opposite dimm slot.
Dimms have different ratings, and even dimms from the same manufacturer can be different. You might look at the dimms and see if you see a value for CL. It should be the same on both dimms (eg. CL=2.5 on one dimm and CL=2 on the other is bad. But, memtest usually shows errors if this is causing problems). Have you tried removing the new dimm and rebooting to see if you still have segfaults?
