Problems with dual Athlons

[Alberto Ramos]

  Hi,
  
  I dont know if this will help you, but we have a little beowulf of dual
Athlon, with Tyan S2466N-4M Motherboards running Debian 3.0 (Woody) and gcc
2.95.4 without any problem.

  Dou you have "good" memory? With our motherboard we have lots of problems
with the memory...

  Other question is if the system crash when they are hight loaded or this
has othing to do.

  Alberto.
