I'd know how to approach such a thing in 9 but not in X. Reinstall? > P-Ram, etc. I have a beige G3DT/533/rev A rom running 10.2.1. I began to experience lockups when I installed a Macally firewire card that I got from OWC. Took me a while to track down since I installed several upgrades at once, but it ran perfectly without the card. OWC replaced the card, but I still got lockups, albeit less frequently, with the new card. I have a 16meg ATI Rage card in one of the other PCI slots and a USB card in the other and it seems to me that the lockups would usually occur when doing something graphics oriented or otherwise accessing something on the PCI bus so it sounded like a timing type issue. I decided that I could live without the firewire card and pulled it and things have been fine since. Anyway, just another place too look for your problem. Otherwise, OSX has run like a dream.
