I built a nice 64-bit Fedora 12 machine on an MSI P35 Platinum, q6600 CPU, 2 GB of PC8500 DDR2 RAM. It always had a funky boot up. In the end, the premium RAM failed. That was the final component I checked. The machine is now an Intel D41TY with a Celeron and 2 GB RAM. Single core, but it reliably launched the Linux off the disk. I want to see of the q6600 is still good. If so, I have to upgrade the BIOS firmware to put it back in service. I built it as a platform for running Erlang. The whole package runs much cooler than the q6600. It's a bunch slower though.
