This must be a K7/500 specific problem. I'm currently using a K7/550 with 384mb core (1 dimms; 1x128, 1x256) as my primary workstation, and it's been very content since I set it up. I'm running Mastodon, and thus the 2.0.28 kernel, but it does have one of my e820 memory patches so it's using every bit of core -- when I fire up 2.3.x for e820 testing, it doesn't complain, but I don't run 2.3.x for very long because the network interfaces changed and thus dhcpcd doesn't work :-(
