That's almost exactly what I said ;b I run an AMD K6-2 450 processor with 128 MB pc100 sdram. One person suggested to me that the processor I'm running runs too hot in general, and during heavy loads it could cause a reboot. If that is the problem, do I need to invest in some kind of cooling system? I've seen fans available that mount in one of the expansion slots in the back of the machine. The heatsink/fan setup that it already has is quite large. -- R Joseph Wright *I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues --Duke Ellington* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
