    Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but 640M isn't enough for almost
anything, anymore; I think it requires 32M, minimum.  But maybe I read
that wrong.

    But it seems to be close to what I think the problem is: memory.

    I've set up dozens of machines, some of them running every day for
the last 6 years.  And when I see kernel panics (always) it's hardware.
Thankfully, there's memtest, right there on the CDROM.  Let that
run...if you see anything in red, that'll point to the error.  It's very
throuough- it can take some time.  But if there's a loose bit, a bit
stuck on or off, it'll find it.

    Personally, I'd the memory as "suspect", swap it out, and then see
if the problem continues.

    Keep in mind, though, it's very possible that something on the
motherboard could have just died...something you probably can't change.

    Good luck with it!
