 Now that you can buy a Dell box (maybe even one of these) with
 Linux pre-installed, you might want to just call your friendly
 Dell representative and ask them this question...

 I know they have been very helpful in the past; especially if
 you blow the $$$ to pay for a service call (something like
 $20 per incident, I believe.)

 e.g. You might want to install Linux - have it crash for the
 same reasons and then call Dell...  that would get an answer,
 anyway...  [Of course, Linux may already handle the interesting 
 memory situation - I don' know.]

 Just something to consider, or not, as the case may be...
