Thanks, yes - I had completely forgotten that one.  I'll add it back
into my set of packages to keep up.

Update:

The Dell has no (zero) lights on the outside.  None.  Not even a power light.

I re-ran the memtester for 10 loops on 5G of RAM (the Dell has 8, but
6 and 7 got kicked out) and it ran without any errors.

I'll see if I can hear or feel any activity next time it hangs.

Thanks.

Mark
