OK...

1. By "different board" do you mean different instance of the same design, or
different design? Because the K7 Thunder is, AFAIK, the only dual-Athlon
1200 board that exists right now.

2. Do you know of anyone else successfully running 2.4 over an AMD 760
support chipset?

3. Which components do you think are likely to be implicated? Bad memory
is an obvious guess, I suppose.
