I have a Tyan S1832DL Tyger 100 running with dual 450 MHz PII for a bit
more than a week. First with 2.0.35 now with 2.0.36. In the short
observation time it was running stable with both kernels, although there was
a huge difference in number crunching performance (better for 36). I have
512M memory. No problems seen with this one so far either.
