Yes, it freezes occasionally. But I think it's due to the generic Firewire/USB2 combo card I have installed. It's one of the ones you always see on eBay proclaiming "8 ports!!!!". I plan to test the machine without it sometime. There is no real pattern to the lockups, although, the "Flurry" screen saver will lock it up every time it's ran, so I just stay away from that. (I think that same one locked up an iMac where I work at all the time as well). Anyway, the details of my setup: 9600, Sonnet G4 800mhz CPU card, 768MB non-EDO RAM (6 128MB sticks, all identical, interleaved), ATI Radeon 7000 video card, ACARD ATA/66 IDE card, generic Firewire/USB2 card, 40GB Quantum Fireball hard drive, stock Apple CD-ROM, floppy, and Iomega ZIP drive, Iomega external USB2 48x24x48 CD-RW, Logitech QuickCam Express, Microsoft optical USB Intellimouse, Apple ADB keyboard, Saitek P-150 game pad, KDS XF-9b 19" monitor. (Hey, you wanted details! ;-) ) OS 9 is a total nightmare on it, I must add, ever since adding the ATI Radeon 7000 card. It locks up anytime you drag an icon or window around. I pulled the OpenGL drivers/extensions from the 9.2.2 update using TomeViewer, and installed the ATI drivers, but it didn't seem to do any good. I also tried upgrading to 9.2.1 using OS9 helper, but the system locks up/freezes where it says "Checking", right after clicking the "Start Install" button. I really don't have a use for Classic or OS9, so it's no big deal to me (although it does still bug me. ;-) ) > > I am a VERY happy user of a Sonnet G4/800 here in my 9600.
