[G5] G5 June 2004 dual 2.0 Processor problem

[Steve Adams]

I had that problem with a dual processor G4. Problem kept getting  
worse until I couldn't run the computer for than 15 minutes before it  
would lock up. I bought new (and upgraded) processors and the problem  
has not reappeared since then. That was a year ago.
