Thanks for all the useful suggestions! I exchanged the board for a Gigabyte
GA-7IXE and the DIMMs for 2 x 256MB PC100 6ns with 5 year warranty, i.e.
supposedly quality parts and I also got a (newer) 650 MHz Athlon. So far
this combination seems to be absolutely stable, not a single process has
died despite very high loads.
What seemed odd with the previous configuration was that with the 128MB
DIMMs in use, the kernel would panic immediately as soon as any swap space
was touched. This was so predictable that I became worried about the
possibility of there being a problem with 512MB RAM and swapping (and
Athlons). I wonder what caused this...
Regards,
Marinos
PS. I'd be very interested in helping to build a database of working
configurations (this has been discussed recently in the mailing lists)
