I have a 2460 that runs rock solid. I does not warm reboot, but then it
doesn't reboot from Windows either. I've heard that a bios upgrade
fixes the warm reboot issue. I loaded it pretty hard for days at a
time, and never a hitch, except for the warm boot problems. Are you
sure the ones you've had problems with had MPs and not XPs in them?
