Sounds like a particular revision of Buffalo memory we had.  

My biggest suggestion for dealing with specing an Opteron system's memory parts
is to look at http://www.cmtlabs.com/ and see what the recommended memory is
for your chosen motherboard.  

We've had good success with ATP and Infineon on the Rioworks HDAMA.

(if needed, I can get the specific part numbers on Monday when I'm back at 
work)
