I run one and have for ...8 months? something like that. I've found a couple of bitmap errors, but I don't sweat that too much. I run the velociraptor for windows and a 36GB raptor that I've had forever for ubuntu.
Did you happen to have the drive in an unlocked-clock SATA port? That may have been the issue. You may have effectively overclocked the drive along with the system bus when you were playing with RAM. Unlikely with most enthusiast boards now, but possible.
Either way, SMART errors on an unclocked drive mean RMA. Those would generally not have been caused by a simple overclock of the RAM and/or system bus. Send it back, get a new one. You're well within the warranty period.
