Hi. I don't know about 2.0.24 being unstable (I'm using it with some hashed in patches for 6x86 stuff), it works perfectly for me. I don't think it's your chip, either. I'm using a 6x86 P150+ with a Tyan Titan III and it rocks. Very stable, very powerful. It could be BIOS settings or something else. This is just my $0.02.
Hope you get it figured out,
