A unique sort also claims it only affects two of the SRAM modules (same stencil labels on the PIMM...I love that about SGI...they say the real location on the PCB!):

Asterix R14K CPU C3D1 [Pin AK1] SRAM C8B7 [Pin D1]
Asterix R14K CPU C3D1 [Pin AA27] SRAM C8E6 [Pin H1]
Asterix R14K CPU C3D1 [Pin AD30] SRAM C8E6 [Pin H3]
Asterix R14K CPU C3D1 [Pin AG33] SRAM C8E6 [Pin H8]
Asterix R14K CPU C3D1 [Pin AK30] SRAM C8E6 [Pin D1]

My hunch is still saying there has to be something about these connections and NOT the SRAM modules themselves.

fleedwood, I looked at the pages you recommended but it didn't really give me the connection I was looking for. Perhaps they are directly connected, but I need more connection-style info, I do plan to do a microscope inspection of the bottom for scratches and whatnot. It'd be nice to find several ICs that control banks or groups of the SRAM (somehow) to find a location to start looking!
