I've just had a 500 system panic (page fault) but that might be down to dodgy RAM. Also the 450 kept locking up hard, but that might have been the faulty CPU as it's been replaced by a 500 and it hasn't happened again yet. Generally they're not bad, but I'd probably use an Athlon if I could afford it. I'd also use ECC memory and a motherboard which supported it, that's a bit pricy too. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: dk3DLUx0515A+xJ86rf2r7VEQI45CXHM iQCVAwUBOVfUECsPVtiZOS99AQGBeAP+LqLi8ofI9IMnQgF7bPcu2mws8wwhtynP WLmoKmbLs2nt3riF+/l2UEqSrx11sOT9Fc+MvyUDmsYGmjMhrjPwBfttLAnYYSx6 jkDT4ZWz1kOt6O9dhtoaqWC2rw4JgsL52JirQGVP2ZWv6MbFA6+OyjGJchK8vegs 6mZeTgAFNpM= =HZHf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
