If his empty slots are few and/or his boards are power hogs, it may be 
that your friend is having a marginal power supply problem.  Age and heat 
are two other variable factors that can contribute to the wierd symptoms.
When I was involved with this, it seemed that a marginal power supply
created enough noise (?) to prevent running at the faster rate, but was
ok with the 1 mhz rate (even with identical power consumptions).
