Greetings.


I guess I have been getting very lucky.

I have 2 servers running Suse 7.1, and 2 upgraded to 7.2, on KT266 motherboards (I am not sure about the last letter).  Memory is only 133Mhz, however. 
Something about the effective throughput of the DDR-SDRam was currently only 10% higher than non-DDR.  Don't know if this downgrade will help you or not, but 
just a suggestion.
