Hi!
Just wanted to show what I did last night (till 3am). The board has been now running stabile for about 10 hours with both cpus and 768MB of memory. Before recap it crashed in a hour and detected random amounts of memory each reboot. Now it detects correctly every single time.
Caps:
5xChhsi 1000uF 6.3V -> Nichicon HD 1200uF 10V
3xChhsi 470uF 16V -> Nichicon PL 330uF 50V (not best suited)
2xChhsi 100uF 16V -> Nichicon PL 120uF 25V
3xChhsi 100uF 25V -> Nichicon PL 120uF 25V
1xTayeh 1500uF 6.3V -> Nichicon PM 2200uF 6.3V
8xTayeh 2700uF 6.3V (vrm out) -> Nichicon PM 2200uF 6.3V
4xNippon chemi-con KZE 4700uF 6.3V (vrm in) -> left alone
As you can see I had to use 2200uF in place of 2700uF because I didn't have bigger uF in small enough physical size. I hope those smaller caps can handle the extra strain at least for a couple years.
The small heatsink for other cpu in pictures was just for a quick test as I had misplaced other M1. M1s are enough to run 650MHz coppermines fanless in a case with good airflow. I dont want any extra noise since this will become my astaro firewall box.
BTW it's not easy to find quality low ESR caps in Finland. I had to order my Nichicons from USA :/

what a joy to hear another success story.
