Actually I guess I should have explained myself further. This relates to
the .16 Myth Freeze threads. I've had mythtv up and running for over 3
years on these machines. .15 runs fine, .16 causes freezes. Without fail,
and repeats every time. I've run several different Memory test and tried at
least 5 or 6 different pieces of RAM. I've run memtest several times. It's
not a Bad piece of RAM and its Not a system not supporting RAM. AS I said
this system runs .15 with this RAM fine. When I say HD ram, I'm referring
to sticks with Chips Higher than 16M So if you have a 256MB stick of RAM,
but It only has 4 CHIPS on I would say it was High Density. I maybe
completely off base on this. Which is possible. I've tried everything I
can seem to find, different HD, different Processors, Different MB's, And
now different RAM. If I run HD test an any of the stuff it always comes
back fine. The RAM is just something I can seem to get to repeat it self
over and over.
