Nope, only 1GB of RAM.

No, I haven't. Like I mentioned above, the OpenBSD drivers seemed to work,
or at least did with similar tests. I would need to run the more extensive
checks to be positive, but those take a lot of time, obviously. And
downtime for the box, a lot of which isn't really manageable, at the moment.

The previous motherboard was an AMD 760 chipset, and it had the same
problem.

I can certainly try that - I admit 2.6.20.3 is a little old now. This will
probably take me a couple days - tomorrow is the 4th of July and a holiday
for me.
