That sounds like a loading problem on the memory bus. My suggestion is to get ahold of DIMMs that have fewer chips (ie single sided, not double like most 128MB units), possibly a different brand of memory. Check with Microstar if they've tested with 3*128MB DIMMs of the type you're using -- it's possibly a legitimate hardware incompatibility.

Yeap! But there aren't many q's about K7s yet. I normally get to them via the links on http://www.kernelnotes.org/
