>ASUS P2L97 AGP Motherboard with 128Mbytes of 10ns SDRAM DIMMS in 64MB modules
>266MHz Pentium II

   I had a variety of problems with using 2 SDRAM DIMMs here and I eventually
had to replace them with regular SIMMs (the motherboard I had supported both).
The problems were similar to what you are seeing, although the exact fairly
was random. I've heard that SDRAM compatibility is a big problem, and because
of this, many vendors have special (no)return policies specifically for SDRAM.
