If the problem can be fixed by swaping the 1000 Mhz Thunderbird with the 1000 Mhz Classic then it has to be a processor problem right? This means nothing as to the fault. My guess is that it is a board layout issue. The number of board layers, chip grounding, length of traces, size of traces etc. These board are very tricky and small changes make enormouse differences. The Thunderbird chip could a better chip for speed, such as having more bus drive current, and creat a problem with a bad layout that was able to squeak through with a lower bus (worse overall) chip.
