By "different board" do you mean different instance of the same design, or different design? Because the K7 Thunder is, AFAIK, the only dual-Athlon 1200 board that exists right now. 2. Do you know of anyone else successfully running 2.4 over an AMD 760 support chipset? 3. Which components do you think are likely to be implicated? Bad memory is an obvious guess, I suppose. -- Eric S. Raymond "Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of arms." --Aristotle
