Ah, yes, I've read more than one anecdote that says, "run it at the same speed as the FSB". I believe it's running 3 sticks at 400mhz.... I might just give them an Athlon II system anyhow, but I'm one of those people that *needs* to know what went wrong too. The horrible thing might be trying to reproduce it, such that even if it seems fine, it won't be. I spent a long weekend at their place and only seen it act up once in three days. Although if it's happening with increasing frequency, perhaps a piece of hardware is on it's way out.
