well, guys, would love to try it, but I would have to be able to run one program at a time first, without it crashing, to trust my system enough to really push the ram, cache, or cpu. wish I could determine the exact cause of my problems..... cpu, ram, mb.... wish there was a good test topinpoint the problem.... oh, well..... test and go, I guess.... and then again, maybe it is just compatibility..
