Perhaps your problem lies in the IDE controller. For some reason, my 
friend and I have been through several dual (MSI & Tyan) motherboards 
over the past few months that have almost always had IDE controller 
problems where they wouldn't work at all, or would lock up after using 
them for 20 to 30 minutes. If you're using IDE on the dual, try SCSI. 
 Or perhaps the chipset?  Did you use the same motherboard in both SMP 
servers?  If so, perhaps there was a chipset problem in that brand, and 
you may have to check with the manufacturer.  I'm just taking shots in 
the dark here, but there's no reason why the SQL server should keep 
crashing ONLY because the difference is single processor kernel, or smp 
kernel. I would assume that any good SQL server is designed with SMP 
kernel in mind for database apps that would require a lot of processing 
power.  Try eliminating the possibilities of hardware problems first.
