I suppose I will just have to live with OS 9.2. > Most likely, the tools you used to troubleshoot the problem failed to spot it. You should be able to install OS X on a Wallstreet. Since the crashes/freezes seem to occur randomly, I would guess that there is something loose in the Wallstreet and the heat at some point causes the failure. I would suspect the memory, again, or the processor daughterboard is not firmly in place. If that Wallstreet has been opened a few times, it is possible that the join between the CPU and the heatshield has become weak and doesn't do its job properly in dissipating the heat resulting in the processor overheating up to a point where the freezes occur. -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
