    XP Pro. I've got a Ti4200 on the way. $141 for a 128MB Albatron from newegg.com. Can't beat that.

      Thanks. I will see what happens when I upgrade to XP Pro but a new video card is a must anyway.

        Another update:

        I decided to try an online game of CTF since I had not given that option a try yet. I was able to play an entire game but when the second game loaded up, I got the same type of crash that I started getting in the single player mode. It was similar to a crash that I used to get in MOHAA when I tried an old Geforce2 card that I also have and I think it may have to do with the power supply.

        Mine is only 200 watts and MOHAA was the only game that would lock up when I used the Geforce2 card. I could play the original UT, Quake, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein without any lockups but the screen that I get now in UT2003 when it locks up is very similar to that. I think that the Geforce2 card was getting overworked with MOHAA but my G400 Max must not require as much power, at least not with that game. I guess UT2003 just taxes the G400 MAx too much too.

        This may be totally wrong but to check it out I plan on upgrading the power supply first to see if UT2003 will quit locking up with G400 before I get a new video card.

        I will update this again when I get the new PS.

          I just installed the new patch and so far so good. I still plan on getting a new PS and video card but I am thankful that they released this patch as it seems to have helped with the random lock ups and it runs faster.

          As I played more before the patch, it would randomly lock up and there was no real way to know why. Sometimes I could play online for an hour or more without a lockup and other times it would lock up as soon as the match started.

                  Ouch, that's quite hot. I hope you have some money set aside for when the CPU fails.
