Seems the best way for me to test is just create a 100% RAM disk to utilize maximum RAM, copy all my HDD contents over and boot from RAM. if everything is ok without bombing out there there, then its a good bet that the RAM is ok.

Probably so. I can't think of a better option.

So far out of the 12 I just assembled, I have 1 that has another bad RAM IC.

That doesn't sound too bad. Probably higher than the failure rate ought to be, but 1 in ~50 sounds managable. Much better than the possible 1 (or 2) in 12 at the beginning.
