Thanks for all the useful suggestions! I exchanged the board for a Gigabyte GA-7IXE and the DIMMs for 2 x 256MB PC100 6ns with 5 year warranty, i.e. supposedly quality parts and I also got a (newer) 650 MHz Athlon. So far this combination seems to be absolutely stable, not a single process has died despite very high loads. What seemed odd with the previous configuration was that with the 128MB DIMMs in use, the kernel would panic immediately as soon as any swap space was touched. This was so predictable that I became worried about the possibility of there being a problem with 512MB RAM and swapping (and Athlons). I wonder what caused this... Regards, Marinos PS. I'd be very interested in helping to build a database of working configurations (this has been discussed recently in the mailing lists) -- ***==> Marinos J.
