I am running mine at its pedestrian spec as well but I'm seeing lockups every
14 days or so. The machine locks hard so that even a magic sysreq doesn't 
work.

I am running a DFE-550TX network card and some low end video card as 
additional cards on the motherboard. I've started to suspect the BIOS
is shutting the machine down because of an overheat state -- should
I be using something in Linux to monitor the internal temprature?

Thanks,
