Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, these aren't ancient 686 systems, they are 1-ish year old 8-core Intel Xeons with 32 GB of ECC RAM apiece. I can't justify replacing them, especially since two of the four are happily deliverying gorgeous performance!
No doubt.
My comment about replacing it was just a statement about what happened in my case (since fighting with old hardware is not exactly a valuable use of my time). It wasn't a suggestion.
The post itself was not much more than "you're not the only person seeing something wonky". Mine is unfortunately lacking in hard data.
