Unfortunately I don't have a solution, but I was wondering about your DDR400 with a 242 CPU. My understanding is that this would run at DDR333. Do you have any idea if you are getting DDR400 speed? I'm not even sure how to determine this. I have used hdparm -T for some sort of rough estimate. I'd be curious what your results are. Here's mine with a dual 240 DDR333 system: hdparm -T /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Timing buffer-cache reads: 2680 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1339.33 MB/sec This result is fairly average for my system... sometimes its lower sometimes its higher.

My dual opteron 242 K8W thunder with 4Gb of DDR400 Reg ECC has been running Suse 9.0 for a couple of weeks now. Everything seems to be working fine and memtest showed no problems.
Unfortunately, every few days or so (it has happened 3 times now), the system just freezes up, and I mean completely. No logins, no escapes, no keyboard or mouse response at all. It still responds to pings though, which is strange since no other remote operations are successful.
There are no messages in the logs (at least the ones I've checked), so I assume its probably hardware related. Any advice/checks I can try?
Its not debilitating since, but it sure is worrisome.
