well, like you said somewhere it must be our understandings of expressions, 
anyway in my opinion I just shared my experiences and did not expressed any 
"necessary" steps nor I said generally the system is unstable

I didn't said that either
I said that I have difficulties when certain conditions are met and I said too 
that I do have stable systems which do NOT met this conditions

You'll find a clear description of this conditions in the thread so it is not 
to understand as a general problem but a restricted problem what up to this 
moment I have

nobody confirmed to have the same problem exactly

BUT nobody confirmed NOT having the same problem under same conditions what 
are:

- athlon 64 X2 processor (4200|4400|4800)
- standard MBs as ASUS A8V[deluxe] and EPOX 9DAN3, Abit AV8 and some others
- 4GB of RAM (means not 3 and not 3 or less )
- SMP enabled
- amd64 releng_6 up to date

what perhaps was not said clearly, the problem do NOT appear withamd 64 
releng_5 and NOT with i386
