  Well... it is easy reproduceable, but .... with debugging kernel system is 
  not going into panic, it just freezes.  When I limit apache to 400
  connections (MaxClients), it can work for ages, setting it to 500-600 will
  crash system in a few hours, setting it to 1000 will crash system as soon
  as people starting to download something. (when enough users connect)

  I have tried starting apache with MaxClients 1500, connecting my laptop
  with crosscable, and starting benchmarks/siege on the laptop with 750
  simultaneous connections. Server dies in less than 1 secons. It just 
  freezes.
  
  It can't be network card, as I have tried different ones. It is not RAM, I 
  have changed it already. What else can it be?
