Hi Todd,

Did you try testing your memory extensively? I've had bad memory work
fine in one OS and perform really badly in another. Memtest86
(http://www.memtest86.com/) has worked well for me in the past, but
I've had times when it wouldn't work, especially when the BIOS
reserves a chunk of memory that happens to be bad :)
