Hey I knew I was reading something similar about lockups and the hpv card. NOT sure if this applies to how much memory you have in your machine or not, but I will attribute this to BUGSI! Thanks a lot. Odd trivia may indeed come in handy around here. We never know when!

Odd trivia: The HPV card was officially "not supported" according to Apple in the 6100, but it ran fine. It ran fine with the Sonnet G3 card, but it locked up if I ran the 6100 with more RAM than the 72 megs Apple claimed was the maximum, but you could put 128 in it, along with the 8 on the motherboard for 136 megs. But with 136 in it and the G3 card, it locked up all the time.
So does that sound familiar? Thanks BUGSI
