And the answer is.....
CPU!
Running with a new Duron 1GHz and I'm (so far) stable as can be. Granted, I've 
only been testing it for a couple hours, but the XFree86-4.2.1 SRPMs built 
fine. I restarted XFS and enabled all the fonts and all the things that used 
to crash X don't seem to be crashing X. The only bad thing is that the new 
video card I got doesn't want to play on my system, it just beeps at me funny 
:-(. My son's gonna try it on his Wintendo, though. Perhaps his mobo will 
handle it (that's the second Jaton card that won't work for me... I had a 
modem that wouldn't work for anything back when I ran Winders. I'm never 
buying a Jaton anything ever...)

Thanks to all for the pointers and tips. I wonder if I can go back to my 
Caldera installation...
Nah... bring on that RH 8.1 beta!

Regards, 
Tim
