boot failure

[Eric Schwarzkopf]

Well I know that I was able to install YDL on my old mac prior to doing a=
ny=20
upgrading but it would always crash and lock up once it tried loading the=
=20
desktop. I gave up until I upgraded my processor ( I have a Newer Technol=
ogy=20
G3 300MHz) and the video card, after that it works fine. If you don't nee=
d or=20
can do without the wireless card get yourself the video card, I really th=
ink=20
it will help.
Good luck
