I DID try a memory test on the MSI system when I had stability problems. Guess
what? It passed fine after 24 hours running it. Yet it would crash within 15
mins when running Seti, this was at stock settings, 100Mhz FSB, CL=3, non-turbo.
After swapping the memory, I am running it now with 2 seti instances, 114Mhz
FSB, CL=2, Turbo, 2 way interleave. It has been solid for 2 weeks now.

I don't believe the memory tests.
