- I have had my 66V with the Ultra Pro for almost a month now. I use the
- Mach32 drivers almost exclusively. My system doesn't crash every ten
- minutes. In fact, it only crashes about once a week or when I am fiddling
- around with things I shouldn't be. Perhaps the problems you have seen are
- related to some other part of the system, like a software package. Build
- 50 _does_ crash often when you turn on the Crystal Fonts (by including the
- line CrystalFonts=on in the mach32 section of your win.ini file), but it
- clearly states in the build 50 readme that this is a beta feature and not
- really recommended.
