Hi all,

just wanted to let you know how that experiment turned out:
In fact, it seems that the power supply had been the problem - not the
RAM.  Don't ask me why.  I've had the machine running for over a week
now, without any problem whatsoever.  Just to be really sure, I even
swapped the old power supply back in. And, as expected, I had 2 crashes
within one day.  I take that as enough evidence...

(So, that nice guy from the computer shop will now get the bucks, and
the big thanks he deserves...)
