I have been banging my head against a P4 1.6GHZ machine running 6.2 for a couple of weeks. It would not do a "portsanp extract" without falling over with a sig 11 in the middle of the extract - leaving a few file clusters in questionable state. As it was a test machine, I swapped in a different HD controller, fresh HD and it still failed. Then I installed 5.5 and it worked fine, but very slowly compared to 6.2 So I went back to the 6.2 and it failed again. All on hardware I thought was rock solid. Then I ran Memtest again and sure enough, the RAM had gone bad. Popped in a fresh stick and now I'm running memtest for two days without error now. Sometimes the older hardware just isn't worth the grief... Ralph
