make sure you have athlon support ... or you're dead,
some p3/p4 instructions will crash on athlons
make sure you have smp turned on in the kernel
( top -i should list both cpu .. easy/simple test )
make sure you have ecc or no ecc set properly for your bios for the memory
make sure you have the cpu and memory fsb setings correctly set for
pc-2100 or pc-2700 memory

- ever wonder why cpu's have a 400Mhz or 533Mhz fsb but the memory is only
a 266Mhz fsb ( pc-2100 ) or 333Mhz fsb ( pc-2700 ) ??

-- 533Mhz fsb cpu just sitting and waiting on memory ??
