I had the same problem with a 7200/90 that I use as a dedicated 4D Server.
(it had bad eithernet, too, so I put in a FastEthernet PCI card to solve
that problem) It had RAM issues. I had an 8MB, a 16MB, and a 4( yeah, 4!)
MB DIM in it. I put a 32 MB DIMM in it, and ended up pulling everything
but the 32 to stop it from crashing.
Since then, it's never ever crashed, and ran over a year at one point.
(Yeah, I went a whole YEAR without a backup! running internal RAID can
give a false sence of security...... BAD Jerry, no donut!)
