I'm virtually certain thta this is a bogus motherboard. I know of a number of systems running 1GB of memory that are perfectly stable (including the quad processor Xeon at WC we use for testing) just as I know of several situations in the past were a motherboard completely fell over after having all of its SIMM sockets populated. As someone else noted, there are often electrical limitations which present themselves only when you stuff the board full of RAM. It would be an easy test to simply swap this motherboard and move the memory back in. Also, how did you test the memory? With a hardware tester, I hope, since all software memory tests are inherently bogus. Don't trust them to tell you anything more than the fact that there's power to the memory. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
