I have had similar probs w/my 7300/180. It happens coming out of sleep quite regularly so I don't use sleep mode, only screen energy saving mode. It also results after using Microsoft programs: Word, Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. I'm using 8.6 now and have just installed a NewerTech G4/350 card, upgrading from a NewerTech G3/300. The machine is surprisingly fast and very stable until I invoke or exit the above programs. I have also noticed quitting the MS programs fragments the RAM. The RAM used by them appears to continue to be in use even after the progams quit. My work around has been to leave them running once I open them up, until I shut down or restart. I will receive a 3.2gig HD w/OS 9.1 by week's end and I'll see if it's more stable. Then it's on to 9.2 and OS 10.2. I'm really looking forward to using Safari and Mail on that machine to see if the freezes disappear. m.
