Is your busy file server running 7.0, and is it
running in SATA mode? The MBs we've tried are H8SSP-i
and an H8SSL-i, both with the same, unsuccessful
results: bad file reads, signals when trying to run
apps, crash-and-burn on buildworld wthin 5 seconds.

Something happened between 6.2 and 7.0, as we were
able to run 6.2 on these systems.
