I agree with Sirius, try #1065 first.

Switching out half of the ram might not work if the fault is caused by a stuck output on one of the ram chips, even if the bad chip were no longer selected it would probably still be pulling the data line and blocking the ram in the other bank.

Hopefully #1065 will point to only one bad data line on the system ram, which is then down to only two bad chips, and a fifty-fifty chance you can pick the right one to remove.
