To all PCI Mac experts-

I've loaded about 5 _clean_ installs  of 8.6 (not reinstalls, though
several reinstalls have done the same) onto this machine, and every
time, after some time, short or as long as a week, basic finder
functions continue to work, but every attempt to launch _any_
application (sometimes excepting Sherlock) goes south with an error of
types 2, 3, or 11, or more rarely, a CHK error (w/mandatory restart
after a CHK error).

The same problem has occurred with several prior clean installs of 8.5,
which had been immediately upgraded to 8.5.1.

The 6500 has 32mb RAM, w/ VM set to 64mb.  I just received 2 new 64mb
EDO sticks from OWC, but decided to ask you guys for advice before
installing it.  I have never gotten any "out of memory" messages, but
then I don't think I've ever exceeded about 29mb in use with it thus
far.

Any help or suggestions would be welcome.  I really like the machine.

Thanks!

-Lance
