My ASUS P5A (400MHz AMD K6-II, two 64MB DIMMs) gave me some initial
difficulties. It ran fine at 95MHz FSB, but had problems at 100MHz.
(Windows crashing, random programs dying with sig 11 under Linux.)
I swapped out all the hardware from the place I bought it; I put in an
extra case fan. Nothing worked. Finally, in desperation, I swapped my
128MB DIMM for two 64MB DIMMS from my parents' computer.
It's now running fine in their motherboard, and their memory is working
fine in mine. Go figure...
