Well, you go out to the garage and get your timing light, and connect it on pins 34 and 52 of your G3 chip... ;-P Many third party G3 and G4 PCI processors have switches or jumpers on them that allow you to change various parameters of the processor, like the processor speed: bus speed ratio(shich determines the final processor speed of your card), cache ratio, and delay timing. Likely what the other person did was pull back on the processor speed a bit, which sacrifices some speed for stability. Look at the manual for your processor upgrade. In my case (a 7600) I had to drop my G4 down to 424 MHz from it's rated 450 MHz to keep it from freezing up randomly. Bad memory can cause this problem too...try running without one of your dimms for a bit to see if the problem goes away. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
