As Andi said, you don't see too many folks reporting to the list when the system runs smoothly. So far we've had very good experience with dual Opterons that we bought from Penguin Computing. The first (dual 244) is maxed out at 16GB (8x2GB PC2100). Had SLES8 (pre-installed) on it for six months now. The only time we reboot was for kernel upgrade. The box gets heavily used as computational server for several people in the group. Having the 16GB on the 64-bit OS is like a dream... We were so happy with it that we got another two dual 248s a couple of months ago. Andy

Well, FWIW, I'm not having much luck with Suse9.1 installing on my DIY Athlon64 computer... none of the distro's are giving me a lot of love, to be honest. Granted, I'm quite the newbie when it comes to linux however, so YMMV.
