To bee fair, the problems started after many weeks of intermittent power failures in the neighborhood.

You do have surge protectors and/or power backups on your systems, yes???

SCUMbria - Re: "The Athlon/DDR problem is definitely hardware, and the Duron problem is likely hardware.

1. Was the Intel system subjected to the same power failures?

2. I guess Colorado is no better than California for reliable electrical power !

Scumbria,

To be fair, the problems started after many weeks of intermittent power failures in the neighborhood.

Have you checked the power supply output voltages?

(The strangest PC problem I ever had was an AMI P-Pro motherboard which worked perfectly except when doing DMA transfers on the ISA bus. This started immediately after a nearby lightning strike, although it took about a week to work out what had happened.)
