I've been running four of the P2BLS + PII 350's for about five months without
any problems.  If you're running the older 2.2-stable + CAM the
AHC7890 PCI bus parity chipset bug workaround from -current will need to be
applied.  The diff is only a few lines.

I'd recommend using ECC memory and enabling it in the BIOS.
