They have 256 MB of RAM which should be more than enough. I ran xrestop,
top and free on the clients at the time of freezing but saw nothing
indicating that the system resources where running out. I also tried NBD
swap just to be on the safe side...

Specs provided by Fujitsu-Siemens say that the Futros have 32 MB of video
RAM but their BIOS was setup to use only 16. I tried changing it with no
effect.

The specs: http://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/docs/ds_futro_a.pdf

No. They are Very Old computers I'm kind of surprised that they work at
all... Now there's nine more "spare part pcs" gathered up from only our
client knows where. They've been running for days without any problems...

> Any difference in BIOS settings between the good and bad units?

Well, the good units have a wide variety of different kind of BIOSes from
different manufacturers... All of the Futros (12 or 14 of them that we've
tested) are bad. They have a very scarce BIOS. We've tried fidling with
the settings, disabling ACPI, APM, USB support and anything that isn't
needed, changing IRQ:s ... you name it.
