Hilary, DKB is being (as usual for them) most accomodating and eager to work with me to nail down the problem. That self same DKB board is on the machine I am currently using (which has been running non stop for about 42 hours now either with me using it or rendering/singlframing anims). DKB thinks it is the agnes socket and since the machine acts up without the DKB on board that could possibly be the case. Both machines have been through the same termperature cycles (daytime temps of 86 in the studio) but one has a 250 watt supply (DKB works OK and air coming out of machine is slightly warm) ant t he other has a 300 Watt supply (DKB doesn't work and air coming out of machine is quite hot). Now I'm just trying to decide how to get the 6.4 fixed since it was 5 days old when it broke. I did send in for level II Gold serive, but I know the reg materials may not have made it, but… The odd thing is since taking everythig out of the old unreliable 4.1 MB machine, taking the keyboard apart and popping key caps off to clean it, blowing all the dust out of the chassis, I am no longer having random read/write errors to the removable or quarterback crashes on invocation. Very weird (maybe it felt threatened… :^| wmc – via Autopilot!
