I have a new AMD64 system.  I originally installed Kubuntu 6.10 AMD64
and it ran fine for a few weeks.  For other reasons I've regressed
back to 6.06.1 i386.  With a new machine I always run the following
kernel compile script:

=================
#!/bin/tcsh
# ramtest
#
   foreach i (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)
     foreach j (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)
      foreach k (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)
       ( make clean;make > log."$i"$j$k ) >& log.err."$i"$j$k
     end
   end
 end
=================

It takes a while, but if you get 1000 err.log files that are
identical, then it is pretty safe to say your hardware is OK.
