We didn't use the 300MHz CPUs, found the 333MHz CPU modules to be stable and the 440MHz were good for about a year of 24/7 and then they'd start to fail.
This is a different issue caused by a bad batch of electrolytic capacitors on the CPU module leaking and drying out. The culprits are easy to see by visual inspection and fairly easy to replace.
