In fact, Frances has become very flakey recently. This morning, my brother fired her up to do some Turbo rendering. After rendering a few spheres fastor then mere mortal Amigas, we decided to check the CPU_Speed. Whoa! It went -274 and broke the scale. Hm, either my Amiga is going turbo boost in the wrong direction or it has gone slowed to a crawl.... We tried this twice after booting my machine. Well of course when we ran our applications they were about as fast as any 020 running at 16Mhz with 32 bit mem. Oh BTW, after a few hours, the machine would vomit and explode and Frances refuses to work... until the next few hours... Heat? Well we have every fan in the house blowing.. Any help?> -Viet
