Nathan,
Thanks for the input. The bios update fixed the memory problem, and now
the Server is as fast as we expected it to be. That is the good news.
The bad news is that bios build 332 breaks support for our dual channel
Adaptec 29320 U320 SCSI host adapter. We are talking to Intel about
that issue. Thanks again for your help and all of the other responses.
