Unfortunately there's no consistency here. All of our problem machines are
< 3Ghz, but usually > 2Ghz.
Rob Limbaugh was right when he said LEGO Tech Support isn't the greatest.
As a Host in the Forum I'm supposed to direct problems like this to the
Techs. So somebody called the numbers and all they ended up with was a
recorded message on how to install the IR Tower. Not even an option to
speak with an actual live human being.
If any of you are interested in working on this but don't have access to a
hyperthreading machine, just let me know and I should be able to connect
you up with someone who is having the problem.
