Hi, I am new to this list and hope someone can help me with a problem with a surplus WS7250/120 500HD/64RAM/256K cache/2VRAM/4X CD I recently purchased for light home use and maybe serve as part of a home network later on (I have a 6100/60 and a 266G3 MT...MACS for home/school but stuck with PC's/Suns at work).
I installed MAC OS8.6, IE, and some games to test the machine. I thought the machine was pretty responsive for what it is intended except it seems to get hung every few minutes or so. I can still move the cursor anywhere I want but cannot get any response for maybe 15 sec (haven't timed it exactly). I do not have to restart to clear it...it just goes back to normal. Other than this problem which even frustrates my 3 year old on low tech kids games, the machine zips along. Same hesitation occurs no matter what program I'm running (IE 5.1, Monopoly, Reader Rabbit). I did reformat the HD w/MAC OS Std, clean install 8.5 then upgrade to 8.6, checked seating of RAM, VRAM, cache, checked battery (with volt meter), and hit the CUDA button. I'm wondering what else to do or if the symptoms are consistent with some fault others on the list have encountered? Maybe this is one reason it was surplus:( ?
