well, I have been having this problem with crashing after 5-10 seconds like many others have, I didn't notice it until I loaded the spells for the game. I took the 'Spells_us.txt' file out of my eqemu folder and of course it told me spells were not loaded because it was missing, but the problem with crashing is not occuring anymore. Maybe this file is bugged for the athlon processors? I am running an Athlon as well
