Quad G5 and 7800 GT

I've had a few people having kernel panics with this combination of video card and computer. I just bought a Quad but didn't get the 7800 GT card.

If you have a 7800 GT video card and are or aren't having kernel panics running Marine Aquarium (this problem is also reported with other non-Apple screen savers which use the video card extensively) please contact me.

I need kernel panic logs if you can get them. Apple is investigating, but I've not heard anything back from them yet.

FWIW -- this appears to be a problem of a bad video card.

This issue has been resolved -- it was a bad video card AND bad system memory.
