So... my humble experience is... the bad cap thing can in fact show

as bad when it is not. Don't ask me how because I don't know. I can
sympathize with the OP's frustration if RAM swaps are giving him a
confusing result if there are bad caps... *especially* when the tests
support the theory of replacing them.

I'm not ready to post the confusing mixture of reports right now, but my
preliminary opinion is that something other than bad ram can give bad
ram results to the memtest86+ tests.

I'm seeing a very confusing picture in which ram which tested good over
here is testing bad over there or rather vice versa.
