Umm... the Crimson is a Power Series box and therefor has the same 
limitations of anything else in that generation.  The fact that you 
have an 150mhz R4400 in there doesn't mean its of the same generation 
as the Challenge.

>It's a R4400/150...jeez... anyhoo....it does run on challenges...

Challenge/Onyx replaced the crimson/powerseries boxes...
