AFAIK, Beige G3s are one of the most stable and reliable Mac Apple ever built. :-o Not only I read this more than once; I owned a beige G3 266 for several years, I upgraded everything but the motherboard (processor up 900 MHz, more than three times original speed), and it worked always fine. I installed Panther thru XPF with no particular issue. I bought it (used) in 1998, and it's still working everyday, used by a client of mine. Almost 14 years of useful life! :-) Could it be about Revisions? IIRC Rev. A had some issues. Or, you might just had a "bad monday" case. ;-) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
