A panic.log without saying anything about itl

Okay, you say it's software. I guess you determined that from the log
somehow, which means you should also know exactly how to fix it.

So, tell us, which software is it and how did you determine this? And
how did you determine that it's not a problem that arose when said
software attempted to access defective memory?

A kernel panic can be caused by hardware faults. So this proves nothing.

And yet you started a thread with the subject, "See Mike its software."

It's NOT software. You've already ruled that out several times by
reinstalling the OS.

And yet several of us have told you repeatedly: It's bad RAM.

You could buy a much more recent used one, or likely an older new one
(with FW) for less than it would cost to replace the motherboard, which
is what it would take.

And just how many times have you been told over and over that THE single
most reliable test for bad RAM is actually using the computer?

I'm not familiar with MacOS X stack traces but the last two the OP
posted would seem to be graphics related.

Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
com.apple.ATIRadeon8500(4.1.8)@0x84e000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(1.7)@0x48d000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(1.4.2)@0x814000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(1.4.2)@0x838000
