This must be a K7/500 specific problem. I'm currently using
a K7/550 with 384mb core (1 dimms; 1x128, 1x256) as my primary
workstation, and it's been very content since I set it up.
I'm running Mastodon, and thus the 2.0.28 kernel, but it does
have one of my e820 memory patches so it's using every bit of
core -- when I fire up 2.3.x for e820 testing, it doesn't
complain, but I don't run 2.3.x for very long because the
network interfaces changed and thus dhcpcd doesn't work :-(

david parsons \bi/ both dimms are ECC, for what that's worth.
