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.
