I have :-)

I remember a certain mainboard (Asus or Intel, don't quite remember) that always gave errors at the same address when PXE was enabled.

I also remember having a certain model of HP workstation (don't remember which model) that gave a whole bunch of errors with memtest86; HP's own memory test ran fine, and so did the system ... I'm pretty sure the memory was fine.
