AMD specs a 400W power supply for a T-bird. I don't know why the
other OSes work fine, but I would not try much more in the
hair-pulling department until you upgrade to an in-spec. power supply.
Antec makes a nice one with a bottom intake that can be had for around
$100, including shipping (that's what I'm running). Your 250-watter
can then power your kids' Windoze box.
As for me, I'm using PC2100 RAM (133Mhz DDR). If you are
overclocking your memory, then instability is not to be unexpected. :-/
