I've heard of one other 120 Mhz machine with problems, but it was not resolved. One thing I've heard – some Intel chipsets crash while rendering, at the point when the computer runs out of RAM and starts the swap file. Let's see if I can dig up the note. Oh, it's for a 90 Mhz machine. Here: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ An Intel tech has identified a timing problem running 3DS on a Plato 90 (Intel Pentium) machine. If the computer has 128 megs of RAM, 3DS will lock up, or reboot the machine, when paging to disk while caching is enabled. However, if the cache is disabled, it renders fine (but takes 17 times longer). The work around: During the boot up, access the CMOS setup with the F1 key. The Advanced Chipset option has a setting for the ISA BUS SPEED. Change the ISA Bus Speed from the default "Compatible" to "Enhanced". This seems to be a timing issue. The Intel tech said it would not slow rendering speed. – – – – – – – – – – – –
