Guys guys, we are talking about known HW issues that causes known bad behavior, having a system that is flaky can have all kinds of reasons, I'd risk saying that genuine HW bugs like the 686B bug is one of the least likely problems... The most likely reasons are probably bad/subspec'd RAM, lousy PSU, bad/subspec'd cabeling, too many "performance features" enabled, generally crappy hardware (there are *tons* of that out there), bad/insufficient cooling, overclocking (even the motherboard makers overclock pr default nowadays to gain a litte over the competition), And do *not* forget bugs/bogons/mistakes in your favorite OS :) -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
