i bought a 64M SO-DIMM from viking for $cheap when i got my lombard a year

macos is another story, of course...

i've done some reasonably big compiles and run seti@home at the same time.
however i've never kept at it for excessive periods of time...i'll leave a
kernel make looping tonight building off an nfs disk to the local disk
and see if anything turns up by morning...

I have left my lombard running for 4 days in a row which included several
sleeps. During this period I did a 6 hour stint playing with the development
kernel code and did about 20 makes. No problems and this was after I bumped it
up to 192. I could try building GRASS just to empirical though.

Seems there's more people successfully running >64M in their Lombard here
than it first seemed. Someone pointed to the kernel problem corner, so
what kernel versions were these success stories run on?

(Mine's some old 2.2.13, 2.2.15pre9, 2.3.48 and 2.3.99pre6)
