That was me; Two new BP6's, both unstable (at the end, one wouldn't boot at
all, the other was fine but would lock up once an hour or so).

We sent both boards back to the supplier, and had two replacements back within
a week or two. The two replacement boards have been fine, with no freezes or
other problems at all!

Note: We're using them in Desktop machines, and a Development server for us
Techies, not Production machines (for that we're setting up our shiny new
Dell's - Opposite end of the price range ^_^).
