Just to let you know, I didn't reset the Cuda after install.  It worked 
fine until I tried to play "Max Payne" .  The game would crash every 
time I started it.  I shut down, reset the Cuda fired it up and tried 
again.  Worked fine then.

However, I did run my Mac all day and late in to the night right after 
installing the Sonnet.  The whole system did lock up after about 12 
hours of use.  I tried to launch Safari. It bounced, then stopped, then 
nothing else would respond.  The mouse moved, but I was unable to 
launch anything else or do a force quit on any of the open apps.  Don't 
know if it was heat build up or what.  My power has been out since 
Saturday night from the Hurricane.  It just came on this afternoon, so 
I am going to see how it runs now.

Thanks--
