I have a TigerMP running with a 300w power supply.  I've actually
put AthlonMP 1.2ghz and Athlon 1.4ghz (non-mp) processors in it to
see how they work.  I've been so happy with it i've order 18 more
for my new cluster.

Are you using proper RAM?  It requires PC2100 Registered/ECC RAM.
Did you for sure get the registered RAM?  Also, I don't think this
is the problem but it does state that the power supply needs to
be 300 watt with a minimum 30A on +5V and 3A on 3.3V.  Many of
the 300 watt'ers don't have this.
