I'm not sure about your 250 MHz, but for what it's worth, I did use a Wallstreet for over 6 months, half the time running OS X, sometimes playing an audio CD which would definitely increase the heat, and I've never had any of those problems. Other problems, like the PMU going south on me twice, but other than that, nothing. -Laurent. -- ===================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ********************** Usual disclaimers apply ********************** coaster n.: 1.
