AMD specs a 400W power supply for a T-bird. I don't know why the other OSes work fine, but I would not try much more in the hair-pulling department until you upgrade to an in-spec. power supply. Antec makes a nice one with a bottom intake that can be had for around $100, including shipping (that's what I'm running). Your 250-watter can then power your kids' Windoze box. As for me, I'm using PC2100 RAM (133Mhz DDR). If you are overclocking your memory, then instability is not to be unexpected. :-/ -- Chris BeHanna Software Engineer (Remove "bogus" before responding.) behanna@bogus.zbzoom.net I was raised by a pack of wild corn dogs.
