In November 1999, Microsoft Corp. (www.microsoft.com) released Service Pack (SP) 6a for Windows NT 4.0, the last official service pack release for the Windows NT platform.

At the same time, Microsoft has repeatedly placated its user base with assurances that it would continue to support Windows NT 4.0 with service pack releases even in the aftermath of the Windows 2000 roll-out.

ACCORDING TO the Windows XP Beta 2 readme, users of Photoshop may hit a minor glitch causing a total system lockup. Allegedly, "few other programs move memory as rapidly as Photoshop does", and it can all get a bit much for Pentium III motherboards.

Dell Optiplex GX1 computers and ASUS P2B-F and P3B-F motherboards are known to have a problem, and other mobos "may be affected" - so it isn´t just a case of an ancient Caminogate Cape Cod mobo causing the memory timing issue for which it was justly famous.
