My system was crashing, and the BIOS was spewing random errors about how “overclocking” failed.

I even thought the ram was defective, and I RMA’d it.

It was the BIOS. Any version past 201 has this problem. If you have a more recent version, downgrade.

Asus — fix this now — you’re on the verge of loosing me as a customer for life.

I just noticed they released the Sun Ultra 24, and Intel Core 2 Duo based system.

This comes after Sun started offering the option of Intel Xeon servers, compared with their initial AMD Opteron offering.
