Sorry I didn't mention it, but I have swapped around the simms, and
even got the vendor to provide a new set of 4 256 meg simms.
Symptoms manifest themselves with any combination of simms larger than
512 Megs (though exactly 512 works fine).

I have heard there was a cacheing issue with the old PII's (<400Mhz?),
but these are the new 450's.

Thanks,
Sam
