All hardware is not created the same.... Last year I went through 5  
motherboards, two full systems, lots of RAM sticks, yada yada yada,  
all to get *one* stable server out of it.  Needless to say, I don't  
buy that vendor anymore.

Last system I got was a SunFire X4100.  Rock solid stable from day  
one.  Worth every premium penny I paid for the Q/A they put in it.
