After a long and arduous battle for stability I have come to the
conclusion that there is some wacko problem with the chipsets above
playing nicely.  I am wondering if anyone can shed some light on my
problem and/or conclusion!!  Here is my setup:
Nothing is overclocked
DFI AK76-SN (AMD 761 and VIA 686B)
1.4 Thunderbird
2 sticks of Unregistered 128meg 266 DDR DIMMS
Also tried 1 stick of 256meg 266 DDR too
SBlaster Live! Value
Geforce2 GTS
Win ME (tried Win 98 1st ED and SE too)

I am at the point were I can hammer my system with both DIMMS (256meg)
installed via the SiSandra burn in wizard.  24hours of all tests no
problem.  As soon as I play Quake3 or any other 3d game it will crash.
 If I just have one DIMM installed but ONLY IN DIMM slot 2 everything
is stable.

Anytime DIMM 1 slot is populated with RAM it will crash but only in 3d
games!  Otherwise is is rock solid!

I am happy with the board and I am waiting for the vendor to respond
but does anyone know anything!?
Thanks in advance!
