Well add one more to the Fable All-star Crash Team. MSI Delta KT600 XP 2500+ Barton (2x11) at 2.2 Ghz (2) DDR 512 MB 2.5 CAS PC4200 Leadtek Winfast AGP 128 MB 6600GT I've been running 2000 for ages, always updated via Winupdate. I was running Fable with the default specs, I tried lowering the resolution, the settings and it would lock up my sytem randomly on occasion, not a whole lot - just enough to occasionaly be a pain in the butt. Sometimes after 15 minutes, sometimes after 2 hours. Doing different things in the game. So I decided to give XP SP2 a try and now it's even worse, and this after a clean install (not upgrade - that's amother story), updating to latest VIA drivers, most recent Nvidia graphic driver. My BIOS has System Memory Cahe set to off, AGP fast writes, master 1WS Write, master 1WS read, Read Sync all enabled. DirectX 9.0c installed. I'm going to try some other games but it looks like Fable is going on the shelf till a patch is released. Under XP it crashes every 10 - 15 minutes, even crashed in safe mode. The nicest thing though compared to a crash in 2000, is XP comes back up so much faster
