*Versions 3.10-20 (ish not sure exactly where) had a hell of a battle with x86 and multiple CPUs/cores. *I had some 1xx and 5xx boards that would lock up over time. *Nstreme2 (dual nstreme) locked up for me when I used it. *Wasn't it 3.20 that caused x86 to lock up if there was a simple queue? That was a fun one...
The more you use (dare I say) any product the more flaws you find. Don't expect anything to be perfect, but rather find what fits best.
