Trying to locate memory problems can really be misleading. You aren't sure yet that this isn't a memory problem, I think, and you have to be, before you go to blaming the board.

How about swapping out the 512M you have installed now with the 512 you took out, and run that for a little while? It's *possible* you're absolutely right about the board, but I don't think anyone's going to trust that until you've covered the (logically required) bases.

Sorry I didn't mention it, but I have swapped around the simms, and even got the vendor to provide a new set of 4 256 meg simms. Symptoms manifest themselves with any combination of simms larger than 512 Megs (though exactly 512 works fine).

I have heard there was a cacheing issue with the old PII's (<400Mhz?), but these are the new 450's.

Thanks, Sam
