A few weeks back I tried 5.3-RELEASE/amd64 on an MSI K8V Neo board with
512MB RAM and a 40GB Samsung PATA HDD.  This board had a Via K8T800
chipset.  

While the initial install went through without problems, the board failed 
the standard  test of running "make -jN buildworld".  The indications were
of memory corruption under load.  Tweaking the relevant BIOS settings
didn't help.

Just another data point.
