This is a very interesting list. I would add one to it that we discovered
the other day. The symptom was that a few include files had the initial
few bytes turned to garbage during gcc compiles, on RedHat. Also,
mysterious lock ups during and after compiles.
The problem was that we were using conventional RAMs rather than EDO RAM.
The mfr specifically said that the motherboard required EDO or fast page
mode RAMs. Replacing them solved the problem. The cpu was the AMD K6/233.
And, over the last 15 years of building systems here, we have long been of
the impression that running Unix is the best RAM tester available! For
some reason or other, Unix (not just Linux) stresses PCs far more than DOS,
for sure, and even NT. This is true of all system components, not just the
RAM.
