I think that the problem may not be with my modem, I have now moved it down
a slot and the 3d card has its own IRQ, my computer still crashes, and it
also crashes with most games not just everquest as I first thought. I see
that there seems to be a few people posting messages about AMD's and TNT2
graphic cards locking up. Also I am using a 250W power supply, someone told
me I should get a more powerful one is this true?
