Yeah, I think your comment about pricing the 300A is essentially true. I'm paying extra specifically to get it checked out in advance just because I don't want to screw around with it. Same for build/test/burn in. I've already done that and don't have to prove I can do it anymore <g>. I will probably put on SP4 soon. I wouldn't say I told you so about the drive image. I don't keep 'em myself at the moment. They have their place but I haven't done my homework on how I want to set it up. I can always reinstall NT then reload a good registry image, which solves a bunch of problems very nicely (matter of fact, I haven't had one it didn't solve ... yet). Did you ever pinpoint the Control Panel problem? Did it go away when you reinstalled NT?

Anyone have any good RAM stress tests for NT (BSOD's on a new BH6/300a)? My wife's new BH6/300a machine is now giving her random BSOD's, especially shortly after bootup. They're generally preceded by Dr. Watson messages, and then IRQL_NOT_LESS stop errors in NTOSKRNL.EXE. These look suspiciously like the memory errors I was having with the one bad Kingston RAM stick last fall. She currently has one PC 100 64 meg stick, and one Kingston 32 meg stick with TI-10 ram that's PC 66, but that I informally stress-tested with lots of big read and writes with no problems and that, according to BX boards, should be good to 112 mhz (she's only running at 100.) Then again, the last time these errors occoured with the bad ram even at a mere 66 mhz... TIA, Dave
