Anyone out there running Plan9 on a >=1Gb RAM PC?

I'm experiencing some stability problems with my ASUS
A7V-266E with an XP1800+ (1.54GHz to you and me)
and 1Gb of DDR RAM.
Plan 9 gets all sorts of "corupt tail" type error messages
and doesn't last more than an hour, or a day if I
lower the clock speed to 1.15GHz. Run Inferno, launch
acme, and it resets!

If I leave either of the 512Mb memory sticks out it
is solid as a rock. Both in, wham! I tried setting maxmem
but to no effect.

I just wondered if 1Gb is too much memory...

I'm looking for ammunition to get the shop to change
the memory.
