Ok. Maybe I have to buy one of these beasts to find the root cause of this.

It's quite an old board, I'd let you on mine and say go for your life but it's actually kind of mission critical (in so much as a home server can be).

Is there anything I can provide/do/run for you to give you a head start in the right direction? The problem showed up when I upgraded from 1gb to 4gb of memory (the maximum the board can handle)

I don't mean to be impatient but any progress with this?
