Thanks. What motherboard did you use? The M2V manual says it will 
support up to 8GB memory (ECC/non ECC) and has otherwise been stable in 
my testing. I really would like to get that extra 768MB as there will be 
some VMWare Server VMs running. Would one of the PCI cards (Adaptec 
2120S & 2940U2W, 3COM 3C905B 10/100) cards affect things? I was half 
wondering if I should yank them out and try again with just an IDE drive.
