I got a Abit-KT7-RAID with a AMD Thunderbird 800 and also have seen lots of trouble. Finally I have figured out that reducing the memory bus clock to 100MHz (instead of 133MHz) make my system pretty stable (My memory modules can take 133MHz! I checked the specs.). Maybe that chipset memory tweaks that the linux kernel does are not enough to fix all memory problems...

Well, after messing around with the mobo for almost 2 years, it finally seems to be stable. But I wish I could have done useful stuff with my computer during that time.

I got to check this out!
