Well, 1) this is in FAQ; 2) "complete story" is at http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ read it, really informative. In short: the main causes of sig11 are bad memory [chips, controllers, cache, BIOS settings, etc.], bad hardware, overclocking... >On a related subject, 3.4 to 4.0 is a big jump; Is the move to 4.0 >worth it for essentially a single user?

My personal opinion: 4.0 is very cool, but I'd not go with -RELEASE, better grab a fresh snapshot from, say, ftp7.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/ and install it. Good luck, Igor.
