[G4] Hard Drive Issues after installing Sonnet Encore 1.2Gig

[John Wilson]

Check your processor temp. If it's too hot it may be affecting 
read/writes to the HD, generating corrupt files resulting in error 
messages. Also, some Macs (particularly if OS X is being run) are very 
finicky about RAM. Memory that worked just fine under OS 9 may cause 
crashes, freezes, etc., under OS X. John
