On Sat, Feb 04, 2006 at 10:15:56PM -0800 I heard the voice of
Steve Kargl, and lo! it spake thus:

I've got a Tyan Thunder K7 (S2462) that had weird issues of falling
over under various sorts of load unpredictably, without a hint (just
cycling; no panic or anything).  It would go a few days without dying,
but a big compile, or playing a DVD, were 2 things I could count on to
blow it up sooner or later.  It turned out that I had the memory in
slots 4 and 2, instead of 1 and 3; since that swap, it's been rock
solid.
