Yes it could... This bug is most common on the 240MHz boards, eventhough
some of the 200MHz also have it. Also, often the 200 boards can be
overclocked to much more than the 240MHz board, for instance, my 240 board
CANNOT be overclocked, not even 250MHz (with 50MHz chrystal)... and refuses
to boot at 300MHz.
What CPU do you have? What factory-/current-clock?
Can you run mp3 + quake without crash? can you run mp3 + dnet without crash?
My guess is that it is the 68k that fucks up the PPC stuff, and not the
PPC... However, I get a WOS exception some of the times. Do I get WOS
exceptions also if the 68k crashes at this task?
