problems with Lombard 400 OS9.2.2 freezing in Netscape or Mozilla

Hello All I've been having trouble with my Lombard 400 (OS 9.2.2). It's been freezing hard while running Netscape 7.02 or the Wacomm Mozzilla build. Each freeze requires a forced restart and they got frequent enough (every other day) to require action. So I rebuilt the desktop, zapped the PRAM an
