It's quite an old board, I'd let you on mine and say go for your life 
but it's actually kind of mission critical (in so much as a home server 
can be).

Is there anything I can provide/do/run for you to give you a head start 
in the right direction?
The problem showed up when I upgraded from 1gb to 4gb of memory (the 
maximum the board can handle)
