Hi,

Do some load testing, fire all ports in a progressive load test, slowly increase from 0 to 100%, the SIS machine will freeze or crash at a little over 40%, the VIA machine will probably drop the partition at approx 50%.
The intel machine will start to show signs of stress at about 80% but not crash.

If you think it is such good gear, why are you asking us why you are receiving weird readings in the system console.

Can't say I've noticed any difference in reliabilty between these four machines (and the SIS one probably takes the most strain)
