>>i have an app running at 28 different locations. all but one location uses intel cpu's and it runs 24/7/365 without any problems whatever. the other one uses machines with k2 450 cpu's. on that system (4 machines in an office) we have all sorts of things happening that i can't get replicated on any intel cpu. it is mainly data loss in memo fields. they will enter stuff into a memo field and next time they need it, it is just gone. every now and then when appending a new record it too will dissappear. i am very sure of the code (been programming for 15years and know how to append a blank by now), so something else has to be the problem. if you get to the bottom of it, please make sure you post it on UT!!

>Our apps are also run on many sites (I can no more count) and some of them are run 24/7/365 w/o problem with AMD CPUs. More they didn't lose a single memo. You could replicate the problems with Intel CPUs I think. Are you sure that site isn't suffering from other things say incorrect electrification, magnetic source near, incorrect networking, faulty RAM, faulty ethernet card, incompatible video or printer drivers etc.
>Just here a few rooms away we have a problematic machine with Intel PIII CPU. It has many problems we can't reproduce whenever we take the machine out of that room. We even tried completely testing with all the equipment it's connected including speakers. It doesn't error if tested here in my room. We changed all outer cables in that room and still it randomly produces unexpected things. Problems occur only if the machine is in that room. Electrification is also tested to no avail :(

Cetin,
Does this problem machine have it's own UPS? We've run into problems at customer sites where the power coming from the wall was inconsistant (103 volts to 114 volts). When low voltage occured, there would be many seemingly random errors. (Their power was so bad at this site, that the lights flickered when the phones rang!) A UPS (on each machine) cured all of these problems.
