Hi,

I can change the memory in the machine, but I'm not sure why?? could
memory do this to FreeBSD? before I ran FreeBSD on this machine I was
running RedHat Linux 5.1 I was able to run X, etc... However when I booted
Quake on the machine it would fall over (dump core) - at first I thought
it was lack of memory, I then ran Quake on a p100 with 16meg of RAM nearly
half the specs of the previous machine, it run's Quake fine. Futher more,
many of times Linux would kick the error 'ide0: reset' it only ever
happened on this machine - there must be something wrong with it??
Cheers,
Quintin.
