Of I was running a nice little linux system and I would have odd X lockups that I couldn't ever figure out. I replaced the ATI Mach32 GUP with a #9 GXE64Pro and moved the ATI card over to a MS-Windoze machine. This was the end of my odd X lockups. (The lockups I get now, I can explain.) Now, the MS-Windoze system sporadically locks up. Feh, IMO, don't get the ATI Mach32 GUP. The Mach8 card was nice but the Mach32 have odd problems.
