Question : Problem: Memtest86+ one error 3 passes

I recently fried a MOBO and possibly RAM by putting the RAM in backwards (we won't get into that). I do not have the post backwards RAM in.  I am using the original RAM.  When I say original I mean what was in there before I blew up the MOBO.  I also have a new MOBO which is the same exact model.  I am testing the original RAM to see if it is still good.  They are a hodgepodge of RAM.  They are different manufacturers but it is the same type (DDR 266).  So I have been testing them with Memtest86+ for the past 3 hours. 3 passes have already gone by and I am currently on the 4th.  I only got one error and it was on the 4th test of the 1st pass.  The same error hasn't occurred since.  I realize any error is no good at all. But what should I do now? Is one of the RAM DIMMs bad possibly?  I have not tried them separately yet.  I also downloaded a program called HCI memtest which is a Windows based memory checker.  In some forum I read that Memtest86+ is not perfect and HCI is a better checker.  Any further advice would be fantastic.  Thank you in advance.

Memtest86 is good tool and it is free! however you should test each memory to sort out which failed.
