As a 'heads up'... I recently put together an Athlon 1.13G machine with 256M PC133 CAS Latency 2 memory and the the system has been rock solid. The only surprise was that even with an ATA 100 drive it seemed that IO hurts the responsiveness of the system more than when I configure slower SCSI drives in. Anyways... there was reference to the cpu cooler being circular (maybe a Thermaltake Orb type)... there was an excellent review of different cooling fans at www.tomshardware.com and the Orbs didn't perform very well... something about to much turbulence around the cooling fins... It may be that on the system exhibiting problems, those problems are the result of thermal stress.
